It’s all in the details with this seamlessly knit cardigan. A wide back pleat, a garter stitch yoke, and a notched front edging all come together using simple stitches and minimal finishing. The wonderful drape of Mirasol’s new (2014) 100% baby llama yarn, Llama Una, is essential to the relaxed, swingy silhouette of this piece.
