Product description

A boxy, open-gauge cardigan in Quarry: the ultimate in slouchy comfort that doesn’t sacrifice good looks. Riverbend’s hem is shaped with short rows so that the back is several inches longer than the cropped fronts. The deep V of the neckline makes it easy to layer. All pieces are knit flat, and we chose to assemble them with the purl side facing out, but instructions are also given for exposing the traditional knit side if you prefer. Two options are given for resolving the short rows so that they’ll be least visible on the public side of your garment, whichever side you’d like that to be. Edgings in single rib keep this cardigan minimalist and unfussy, so you can throw it on over workout clothes or dress it up with slim trousers and a buttondown.

Designer: Julie Hoover

Collection: Fall 2015
