This cosy statement cardigan is as comfortable lounging around at home as it is walking around town. Knit in a luxurious mohair-merino blend, Belvedere’s textured stitch patterns create a dance of light along its haloed surface. The design includes tips on how to lengthen or shorten the body and sleeves, as well as instructions for placing the buttonholes on either side of the front opening, making this classic design easy to customize for the wearer.
