The Capture Cardigan takes a traditionally slouchy silhouette and turns it into a floaty, drapey, easy to wear garment by combining a single ply yarn with the airiness of a mohair/silk blend. Dropped stitches create a simple raglan detail while subtle shaping at the bottom give a flattering silhouette. Knit seamlessly from the top down, this cardigan can be dressed up or down to fit any occasion.
