A thin cotton cardigan is something that should be in every wardrobe. From summer nights and hot days to southern US winters, there can be no more versatile lightweight sweater. This is sure to become a “go-to” favorite in your wardrobe.

The Willie Cardigan uses a tab cast on and combines a v-neck, welted ridges, and integrated seed stitch edging. Adding snaps to this piece makes it immensely versatile and a jaunty button on the surface adds just the right amount of pizzazz.
