Kin Cardigan is crocheted with a striking two-row repeat. With understated Dolman-style sleeves and an overlapping front, it is designed to throw over winter dresses or summer tops when the evening breeze arrives.

The crossed treble stitch rows create an open lacey texture, while the double slip stitch rows produce vertical lines that give the jumper structure and a sophisticated look.
