This timeless cardi features cozy folds of garter to wrap you up in a big hug! Clean ribbing breaks up the garter very subtly with invisible shaping, while long oversize sleeves add comfort and warmth.

The cropped length is perfect for layering, especially if you want it to sit just right over dresses or high-waisted pants. But if you decide to make it longer, it totally changes the vibe—it goes from a cute, breezy piece to something with cozy academia vibes. Either way, it’s the kind of cardigan you’ll wear over and over, no matter the season.

To select your size, measure your full bust, add your desired ease, then pick the closest finished bust circumference. Sample shown in size 41” / 104 cm on a 34” / 86 cm bust with 7” / 45 cm positive ease.
