Folded Cardigan

Introducing the Folded Cardigan: a beautifully crafted sweater that adds an enticing textural dimension to your wardrobe! This stylish cardigan features intricate tucks that resemble elegant folds, adding a unique flair to this piece. The entire jacket is skillfully knitted in one continuous piece, starting from the bottom of the back and seamlessly down along the fronts. The sleeves are crafted in the same direction as the body, with stitches skillfully cast on in sections, ensuring a perfect fit. All the tucks face the same direction for a cohesive design, creating a sophisticated look.

In striking contrast to the dense fabric of the cardigan’s body is the extra-long scarf collar, which is expertly worked separately and then sewn on.

The Folded Cardigan is knitted in a luxurious bouncy sportweight yarn made from a blend of merino and mohair, making it not only soft but also incredibly comfortable to wear. Perfect for transitioning through seasons, this knitted cardigan is a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
