Moonstruck

Designed by A. Karen Alfke

This cardigan works like a coat, adding instant flair to any outfit. Its oversized collar can be worn up around your neck for warmth or open for drama. The k4, p2 rib gives sleek vertical lines which - surprise! - emerge from an angled front. Sew on buttons where you like on the opposite front to create a custom fit.
