Garter Pression is a modern staple inspired by timeless French chic. This top-down, boxy cardigan features a clean crew neck and a rhythmic garter stitch body. To add a touch of sophistication, the sleeves are worked in Andalusian stitch,
creating a beautiful textural contrast. With a simple, straight construction, it’s the perfect canvas to showcase your favorite yarn and iconic snap buttons.
