Pentacle Classic
Occult minimalism: a single bone-white pentacle knitted at the center of a black crew-neck, in thin, precise lines. Unisex, elegant, and quiet enough to wear anywhere. Until someone looks twice. The knit equivalent of lowering your voice.

Knitted, not printed
The motif is jacquard: bone-white and coloured yarns carried through the black wool row by row on an industrial flat-bed machine. There is no ink, no transfer and no embroidery on top. Pattern and garment are the same object, so nothing can crack, peel or fade.
Fabric and fit
Heavyweight knit in 50% wool and 50% acrylic: warm and substantial like pure wool, harder-wearing and easier to live with. A finished sweater weighs 450 to 650 g depending on size. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 2XL. Between sizes, take the bigger one.
Made to order
Your piece is knitted after you order it: the chart goes on the machine, the yarn is mounted, then it is linked, hand-finished and steamed. Two to three weeks, plus shipping. No dead stock, no warehouse.
Shipping and returns
Free tracked shipping worldwide. EU 2 to 3 working days after dispatch, UK and US 3 to 6, rest of the world up to 10. Fourteen days to change your mind, and the size exchange is free.
One clean pentacle, centre chest, in thin precise lines on black. Nothing else. This is the quietest thing we make and, by some distance, the one that gets worn to the most offices. Occult minimalism: the whole point is that it takes a second look.
Thin lines are the cruellest test of a knitting chart. A single stitch out of place turns a five-pointed star into a lopsided scribble, and there is no retouching yarn. The pentacle is charted so that each arm holds the same weight and the circle stays round rather than faceted, then knitted in bone-white through heavyweight black wool.
Relaxed unisex crew-neck, ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, true to size S to 2XL. The motif is deliberately modest in scale so it reads as a mark rather than a graphic, which is what makes it wearable under a blazer. The model is 178 cm and wears M.
Knitted to order in Italy, two to three weeks, free tracked shipping worldwide, free size exchange. Wool cycle at 30 degrees inside out, dry flat. The knit equivalent of lowering your voice, and the piece most often bought as a first Knitferatu.
Is the motif printed or knitted?
Knitted. It is jacquard: the bone-white and coloured yarns are carried through the black wool row by row on an industrial flat-bed machine, so the motif is the fabric. There is no ink, no transfer and no embroidery, and therefore nothing that can crack, peel or fade.
Which size should I take?
Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 2XL. Flat garment measurements in centimetres are on the size guide. Between two sizes take the bigger one, and if you still call it wrong the size exchange is free.
How warm is it really?
Properly warm. A finished sweater weighs 450 to 650 grams depending on size, roughly twice a printed sweatshirt, in a 50% wool and 50% acrylic heavyweight knit. It works alone in autumn and as the only layer under a coat in winter.
How long until it arrives?
Your piece is knitted after you order it: two to three weeks in the atelier, then free tracked shipping worldwide. EU 2 to 3 working days after dispatch, UK and US 3 to 6, rest of the world up to 10.
