Zephyr captures the essence of summer. Dramatic and fashion-forward, this oversized cardigan features innovative construction to ensure an elegant fit.
Zephyr's body is worked flat from the bottom up with one strand of Twig. Fronts are shaped using short rows at the hem. Sleeves are worked flat with 1 strand of Fern in two pieces from cuff to center back, then joined using a 3-needle bind off. Body is seamed to sleeves, with a folded front edge.
