The boxy, open-front Wendover Cardigan has a fun back feature: a swath of twisted rib that is enclosed inside a twisted-stitch triangle motif that wraps around the lower body. Upscale details such as a tubular bind-off elevate a simple shape into something truly special. It’s the perfect cardigan for easing into warmer weather.
