Great Garter Bomber
The Great Garter Bomber is a stylish and modern dk weight top-down knit. It features a cropped design (which may be altered to preference) and a squishy folded collar. Thick edging compliments the boxy design of this knit, and large buttons or toggles add flare. This simple cardigan is a must for all styles and wardrobes! Dress it up, dress it down, but be sure to have one in your closet.
