Gus
An open-front cardigan featuring beautiful details such as loose inset pockets and full-fashioned back shoulder shaping. The front bands are worked continuously using a combination of ribbing and incorporated I-cord edge stitches that travel up through the collar. While there is ample ease built into the body of the cardigan, the shoulders and sleeves have a tailored fit.
