Cadenza
Cadenza is a close fitting cardigan with A-line body. It is only buttoned at the top, making the front falls slightly open for a flared shape. It is worked seamlessly from the top down and comes with hidden side pockets that are worked at the same time as the body.
Measurements are given in both centimeters and inches.
