Cable Joy Cardigan

Cable Joy Cardigan is a simple and timeless cardigan with a focus on texture and shape. The classic cables run through the work and create a graphic look. The sleeves are slightly oversized with a soft, relaxed shape. The distinct cables run along the sleeves and provide texture without appearing heavy. Wide ribbed edges at the cuffs and at the bottom of the body gather the shape and provide a calm finish. The cardigan is finished with ribbed front bands and neckline.
