Bolinas Cardigan

This gorgeously cabled, oversized cardigan is designed to keep you stylish and warm on chilly days and cool evenings! Whether you're layering it up for a casual outing or curling up with a good book, this cardigan is the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

This stunning sweater is knit from the top down, allowing for a comfortable and customizable fit. Stitches are picked up from the shoulder straps, and the fronts and back are joined at the armholes to create a seamless garment that’s continued in one piece. The sleeves are crafted by picking up stitches along the armhole, where short rows are worked for cap shaping, followed by knitting in the round for a neat finish.
