I designed this cardigan with the idea of wearing it to all my holiday celebrations. It is perfect with a little black dress or a pair of jeans. It has decorative pockets that are optional.
I have used a luscious DK weight yarn by Madelinetosh that is 50% silk and 50% merino wool to give an extra opulent shine.
