The Rose Cloud Cardigan is a fluffy, oversized cardigan that you can wrap yourself up in on a cold day at home. It was designed with a puffy balloon sleeve to add to the whimsy of the garment, but a tight cuff is included to keep those big sleeves out of your way in case you need to grab a snack or turn a page in your book. Snuggle up in this soft, alpaca sweater!
