• Product description

  This cozy, long cardigan is the perfect sweater for Fall layering. The designer suggests 3-4 inches of positive ease, giving it a comfortable, oversized feel while still maintaining a slimming waist shape. Staggered vine lace motifs and a deep, relaxed v-neck give this classic garment knitterly appeal.

  Designer: Michele Wang

  Collection: Wool People, Volume 1
