The Ruke Solid cardigan is a light mohair piece that belongs to the capsule wardrobe. Knitted from the top down, the yoke and body are worked flat, while the sleeves are knitted in the round. The front band is worked in double knit stitch, which keeps it neat even after frequent wear. With a straight body for easy length adjustment and gently tapered sleeves, this cardigan offers timeless elegance and versatility for everyday life.
