Even if she’s a landlubber, she’ll look like she knows the ropes in a flattering shawl-collared cardigan knit in stockinette stitch with ribbed welts. The inset pockets, cuffs, hem and front bands are trimmed in contrasting double rib. Rialto DK extrafine merino yarn gives this piece toasty warmth during sudden squalls and sprays.
