Marguerite Zorach was a Maine-based modernist artist known for her bold use of color in painting and textiles. Knit in Sora, our exceptionally soft wool and nettle blend, the cardigan brings a study in color to a classic silhouette.

Worked flat from the bottom up, the front, back, and sleeves are knit separately and seamed together. The raglan sleeves create clean diagonal lines that emphasize the transitions between colors, while a deep V-neckline, 2x2 ribbed edging, and button-front closure complete the design.
