Amaryllis is a modern take on the classic twin set with a simple tank and oversized cropped cardigan. Stockinette framed in ribbing lets the silhouette take center stage and the long straight sleeves dial up the drama. Both pieces are knit from the bottom up with minimal shaping, making these great tv knitting projects! Choose Amaryllis to keep your wardrobe options open with the easy to pair and wear tank and cardigan.
