The Branch Out Cardigan is a lightweight, unisex layer ideal for those chilly mornings and brisk evenings. It features eye-catching, textured sleeves, a flattering “V” neckline, and classic ribbed edging. Best of all, the length of the sleeves and body can easily be customized since it’s worked from the top-down. PLUS, there are additional instructions to make it a sweater, instead!
