Bundle Alert! When you bundle Flanders with an SQ of Forge on the Hudson + West Co. site, you’ll get a discount off the pattern.

Flanders, by co-founder Sloane Rosenthal, is an on-trend cropped cardigan ideal for wearing over a spring dress or paired with your favorite high-waisted pants. This chic and effortless cardigan is covered in Sloane’s signature cables on the front, while the back and sleeves are in smooth stockinette to reduce all over bulk and increase breathability. This cardigan is constructed from the bottom up in one-piece, split at the underarms and seamed together at the shoulders. The set-in sleeves are worked top-down, featuring clever short-row shaping for a perfectly tailored sleeve cap.
