• Product description

  Olga’s Kenzo Cardigan is a show-stopper that is sure to turn heads! The innovative allover cable pattern creates a unique and beautiful fabric that is sure to appeal to texture lovers. The A-Line silhouette is created through the use of needle shaping and tapers at the high waist for a flattering fit. The front sides of the yoke extend to gently wrap around the shoulders and meet at the center back for a distinctive finish to this special garment. The pattern is suitable for advanced (or adventurous) knitters and will surely bring a result well worth the effort!
