Inspired by a sweater worn by Miss Marple in the fabulous BBC program, “MARPLE,”this cardigan features a criss crossing collar. This seamless short-sleeved cardigan is knit from the bottom up. The seed stitch edging is hassle-free and the yoke is knit to create a playful saddle shoulder with a pouffy cap sleeve. In a sea of Button-up Raglan sweaters, this cardigan is a sweet little oddity for your odd little sweety.
