Perfect for a walk in the woods—or a stroll on windy city streets—Bodie is a cozy and sophisticated take on the essential cardigan. Knit in a decadent wool cashmere blend, the design features a variety of easy texture stitches that will hold your interest. With its luxurious brioche shawl collar and integrated pockets, this cardi will keep you snug all season long.

Knit Bodie with moderate positive ease for a traditional cardigan fit, or with more ease to wear as a generous sweater coat. Worked seamlessly from the top down with a modern drop shoulder construction, Bodie offers a great fit with minimal finishing.
