Velvety cardigan is designed with a slouchy modern silhouette in mind. The loose and wide square set­in sleeve and boxier body make for a perfectly casual look. The cardigan is knitted in an easy, yet beautiful texture that gives a fluffy and airy structure to the garment. Velvety is knitted bottom up. Sleeves are picked up along the armhole and knitted topdown in the round (either on dpn needles or using the magic loop method).

Comes in ten sizes. Model is wearing size 2.
