Crocheted seamlessly from the top down, this cardigan is designed to fit and flatter every body shape and size. Sinuously winding cables travel down the center back and also frame the front, creating flattering vertical lines. A 100% wool yarn softens the look of the stitches while providing plenty of insulation from chilly autumn winds.
