The Mesquite Cardigan is timeless, cozy layer that you’ll be reaching for again and again.

Made with DK weight yarn. My sample features both superwash and non-superwash yarn in the same colorway to create low contrast stripes.

The cardigan is a modified drop sleeve design that is worked flat from the top down.
