We are delighted to present the stunning Marlo Cardigan, designed at the Atelier by Astrid with Le Petit Organic Cotton and Le Petit Silk & Mohair held together throughout, in slightly different nuances creating subtle color blendings.

Marlo is designed as the comfy Cardigan you love to reach for, feel cosy in, in the cooler Autumn/ Winter Weather, all the while looking chic and elevated, with its large button band, rib edges, contrasting buttons and modern shoulder construction. We chose Le Petit Organic Cotton which adds a heavier weight to the garment – which you can easily switch for Le Petit Lambswool – held together with Le Petit Silk & Mohair throughout, creating a lovely halo and adding a luxurious and warm touch.

Construction
Marlo cardigan is oversized and worked flat in stockinette stitch from the bottom up. The front parts and the back are worked flat in one piece to the armholes and then separately. The sleeves are worked from the bottom up in the round and sewn onto the body. The front borders and collar are then worked.
