Wide ¾-length sleeves, modified drop shoulders, and graceful A-line shaping make Bonolo Cardigan a perfect layering piece. Its split side hems, Broken Rib edges, and single button closure combine to give it a simple but sophisticated style.

Cardigan is worked flat in pieces, and then seamed together. Ribbed split sides overlap by knitting in borders on the Back, and separately worked Broken Ribbing on the Front pieces. Modified drop shoulder construction eliminates extra bulk under the arms.

The cardigan was designed in collaboration with Miss Babs for their Summer Collection for Maryland Sheep and Wool 2017.
