Richly textured cables and honeycomb stitches cover this cozy cardigan, creating a fabric that feels as intricate as it looks. Vertical cable panels frame repeating honeycomb motifs, while shaped wedges along the sides add subtle flare and ease to the silhouette. The result is a cardigan with both structure and movement, balancing texture and form.

Worked flat with a classic button band, deep ribbing at the hem and cuffs, and a relaxed fit, this piece layers effortlessly over shirts or dresses. Thoughtful shaping ensures a flattering line, while the bold stitchwork makes the cardigan a true showcase of cable artistry.
