Color and Comfort Cardigan

Discover the elegance of our slightly oversized A-shaped cardigan, featuring stylish dropped shoulders and a front adorned with vertical stripes designed to flatter your figure. This versatile cardigan pattern allows you to express your creativity; choose from an array of solid colors, hand-dyed options, or stick to a natural palette to link your wardrobe in unique ways!

When selecting your size, we recommend opting for 3 - 6 inches (7.5 - 15 cm) of positive ease for a relaxed fit, or choose less ease if you prefer a more fitted appearance. The cardigan is showcased in size Small on a model with a 34-inch (86 cm) bust, demonstrating 5 inches (12.5 cm) of positive ease for a cozy yet flattering look.
