Get After the Ball as part of the Songs and Stripes Collection for only $22.

After the Ball is a simple, modern cardigan, knit with or without stripes, with 4 different options: cropped or long body option and ¾ or full length sleeves. This cozy sweater is worked from the top down in an almost weightless loose gauge. To finish off the look the contrasting color is picked up and knit seamlessly.
