Cardigan THIRTEEN
GARMENT CONSTRUCTION: This stunning Cardigan is designed with convenience and style in mind, knitted seamlessly from the top down in one piece. The body is expertly worked flat, while the sleeves are picked up and knitted in the round for a polished finish. We provide two unique options for the buttonband and cuff patterns, allowing you to customize your cardigan to reflect your personal style.
