Description
An exercise in crisp-lined, structured knitwear: Slipped stitches highlight shaping darts, double knitting helps a delicate mandarin collar stand on its own, and a ribbed waistband creates a flatteringly trim shape. In chunky cotton, the cardigan is light enough to wear on its own and structured enough to wear as a spring jacket.
