The West Side Cardigan is a fitted, slightly cropped cardigan with ¾ sleeves and micro stripes on the lower portions of the body and sleeves.

The button band on West Side Cardigan is worked as an applied edging, and the buttonholes are worked vertically. Both of these details give the cardigan a clean, polished finish.
