The Annemarie Cardigan is a modern classic with just the right balance of simplicity and detail. Knit from the top down in smooth Stockinette, it features textured sleeves and deep patch pockets adorned with bold cables. The clean V-neck and ribbed button bands give it a cozy, wearable look, while the buttons add a touch of character. Designed for worsted-weight yarn, Annemarie is a soothing knit that flows easily on the needles and results in a cardigan you’ll reach for every season.
