Description:
This fitted ribbed cardigan was designed in natural undyed alpaca colors and it can be to converted into so many different ways of wearing it – with the collar being the main focus and the part that you can tie, drape & wrap in order to give it a different use.
While the cardigan itself uses a structured tuck rib- the collar is worked using a lace weigh yarn throughout together with 5 different shades of natural alpaca colors- in order to create an ombre effect.
Because of the lace weight yarn- the collar is very airy and light and drapey- creating endless possibilities of wrapping it or tying in in multiple ways.
For a more dramatic look- you can also decide to make the collar much longer- which would allow to double-wrap it around the body.
