NOVITA AINO: Lepo Cardigan
A beautiful cardigan is soft luxury at its very best.
Knitted in Novita Aino yarn, the Lepo Cardigan
is exquisitely soft and gently wraps around the body,
becoming a trusted wardrobe staple for any closet.
Worked seamlessly from the top down, the design
follows the body’s natural lines and is easy to
adjust to your own measurements. Made with
thick, dream-soft Novita Aino yarn, the cardigan
is also quick and wonderfully satisfying to knit.
