Kinvarra Cardigan
Kinvarra is a classic drop shoulder cardigan. It is worked seamlessly from the top down. The neckline is added last to give you the maximum finishing flexibility. The sleeves are designed to be fitted. The front and back neck are shaped similarly so that you can also wear this cardigan back-to-front.
Kinvarra Cardigan is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches.
