Colorblock takes a right turn in colors reminiscent of a Colorado sunset. This boyfriend cardigan is made just for you with subtle shaping to fit your curves but still cozy to wear. Subtle details like matching the yarn used to sew on the buttons to the blocks of color and adding stripes to the cuff of the sleeves really make this piece pop.
