Meet The Manhattan, a modern chunky cardigan that’s cozy, polished, and designed to hold its shape. Intermediate-friendly, broken into clear steps with several video tutorials and built-in customization for length, sleeves, collar, and pockets.

This is one of the pieces from the In The City fall collection featuring bold stylish crochet pieces.

This sweater is designed to flatter a woman’s body no matter the size, with a close fit to the shoulders and face-framing collar with more room in the body.
