Zingiber

Zingiber is a cozy and stylish top-down cardigan designed for comfort and versatility. Featuring trendy raglan sleeves, eye-catching cable details, cabled patch pockets, and an optional warm hood, this unique cardigan is perfect for layering during chilly months. Named after the Zingiber genus, which includes a variety of warming plants such as ginger, turmeric, and cardamom, this cardigan embodies warmth and style in every stitch.

The cardigan's straight body design ensures a flattering, unisex fit that accommodates all body shapes, making it an excellent addition to any wardrobe. The thoughtfully constructed hood, which can be left out if desired, is shaped with short rows for a snug yet relaxed finish, perfect for draping over any outfit.
