CARDI Jumper

The CARDI jumper is a versatile wardrobe staple that can be worn as a V-neck cardigan or as a boat-neck jumper. It has a modern cut with drop-down shoulders and an oversized fit, with about 15-20 cm (6-8”) positive ease around the bust. Polished details such as its delicate shoulder seam, well-proportioned cuffs and elegant button bands round up the design. ##**CONSTRUCTION**## This garment is knit flat in stockinette stitch, top-down in one piece. The sleeves are worked in the round. Finishes include working the button bands along the finished body and seaming buttons. ##**NEW TO VERSION 2.0**## This design was first launched in February 2022 and was updated in November 2023.
