Kirsti Knitted Cardigan

The gorgeous Kirsti cardigan is knitted in pieces using the interesting linen stich technique, resulting in a dense fabric. The pattern is filled with vintage charm, but it is a perfect addition to a more modern wardrobe as well. Designed by Sisko Sälpäkivi, the cardigan is a combination of beauty, tradition and timelessness.
