Classic lines and a cozy feel make Alma a cardigan that you’ll want to cast on immediately to take you through fall and winter. With extra length, great fisherman’s rib texture, and thoughtful details like pockets (!) and a fold-over shawl collar, Alma is the ultimate throw-on to create warmth and comfort. Snuggling on the couch or on the go, this sweater has got you.

Alma is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed. It features a combination of a saddle shoulder and dropped shoulder for a roomy and easy to move in silhouette. Pockets are integrated into the fronts and the shawl collar is picked up and shaped with short rows after the pieces are sewn together during finishing.
