Inspired by slow mornings, winding country roads, and the simple beauty of farmhouse living, this cozy cardigan is made for days spent wandering. Featuring simple cables, a relaxed silhouette, and a charming waist belt, this timeless knit blends rustic elegance with an easy, lived-in feel.

The understated cables add just the right amount of texture, while the belt creates a softly gathered shape that feels both flattering and effortlessly relaxed. Designed for layering and made for everyday adventures, this cardigan is perfect for tossing over a linen dress, pairing with worn-in denim, or wrapping up in on a crisp morning walk through the fields.

All pieces are worked flat, from the bottom up, then sewn together. Stitches for collar are picked up and worked in ribbing.
