The En Pointe Cardigan is a gracefully elegant piece, perfect for layering over your favorite outfits. This V-neck, ribbed cardigan features delicate eyelets and lace patterns that add a touch of sophistication and texture. The body is worked flat in one piece from the bottom up, divided at the armholes, and then worked separately for the front and back. Set-in sleeves are also worked flat from the bottom up and seamed, creating a refined, tailored fit.

The cardigan is finished with a thoughtfully designed button band, which is worked by picking up stitches around the neckline for a seamless look. Whether dressed up or down, the En Pointe Cardigan offers versatile styling options and timeless appeal, making it a must-have addition to your wardrobe.
