We love this sleeveless cardigan for its details of offset garter stitch between the trim and the body, the drape that our little mohair/merino Piper lends to the piece, and the narrow back neck and high collar, perfect for warding off a bit of chill. For just a little more coverage without having to pull on a full extra layer, Ellison fits the bill nicely—minimalism perfected.
