Richly textured cables bring warmth and character to this button-front cardigan. Worked in an engaging all-over cable motif, the fabric has depth and dimension while maintaining a comfortable drape. The V-neckline and classic button band frame the design, giving it a versatile style that layers easily over casual or dressier outfits.

Stockinette sleeves provide contrast to the heavily patterned body, letting the cablework stand out while ensuring a smooth, easy fit through the arms. Ribbing at the hem, cuffs, and button band ties the design together with a neat finish.
