Knitted in deep rose, an orchid pink, a Delft blue, or any other colour to suit your type, this classic twin set will be a stand-by in your wardrobe. Make them in the same colour or team two pastel tones. America has given top fashion marks to the cardigan in this style for both day and evening wear.
