– Доступно описание на русском языке –

I’m rescued from that sea of boring knits / This double-breasted savior pulls me forth / And working in the round from bottom up / Doth breathe inspired life into my soul

Both sophisticated and casual, Sebastian’s Cardigan has the tailored lines of classic menswear, but what makes this cardigan stand out are the double-breasted front and the collar that can be popped or worn flat. This cardigan is worked in one piece from the bottom up and divided at the armholes. The sleeves are worked in the round, and the sleeve cap is seamed to the armhole.
