Thy countenance betrays thine handsome form / And tailored style reveals those lovely lines / In finest cashmere, raglan shapes doth play / Whilst womanhood exudes from fibres purled

Cesario’s Cardigan explores the interplay between masculine and feminine: featuring menswear tailoring and texture, it’s been modified for the female form. The elegant haloed cashmere adds a soft, delicate look to this classic cardigan. This knitter-friendly garment is worked from the bottom up in one piece with raglan shaping—no seaming required.
