Pebbled Cropped Cardigan
A great year round simple cardigan. It’s a shorter sweater that falls just below the waist however, if you prefer a longer length, instructions are given to lengthen. Texture is achieved by simple knitting and purling. A dropped shoulder, rolled neckline and the lack of a front placket make for an easier knit and a less tailored look.
