The textured meandering pattern of this oversized cardigan was created to correlate with the element of fire. It reminds me of the tongues of flame, licking at the air on that last summer campfire as cooler weather sets in. The unusual modular process of building the knit fabric creates the intricate surface design, juxtaposing positive and negative spaces of knits and dropped stitches. The uninterrupted mold of stitches continues to form neckline shaping while keeping ribbed edges intact. Drop sleeve construction and positive ease allow the cardigan to drape loosely over the body, allowing for layering as well as fitting in a way that creates slightly raised front hems without requiring extra shaping.
Cardigan shown measures 46½“ (118 cm) at bust and being worn with 12” (30.5 cm) positive ease
