This round-neck cardigan with textured yoke has ample structure, thanks to 1x1 ribbing throughout the body of the garment. Three-quarter-length sleeves are shaped below the elbow with a sleek notched hem. Simple 2x1 ribbed button bands are picked up and knit in front to finish the look. Top-down construction makes for minimal finishing and a fully customizable fit; coordinate the cardigan with the matching Althea skirt (coming soon!) for a classic knitted outfit in a cozy cashmere blend.
