Inspired by the classic wrap-around ballet cardigan, Darcey is reworked to be flattering for a grown woman. Lace detailing on the sleeves, deep ribbing and a button closure make the cardigan sophisticated enough to wear as a cover-up to the smartest events. The cardigan is knitted in Sirdar’s Snuggly Baby Bamboo DK, which is soft and machine-washable, and drapes beautifully.
