Wide front bands, A-line shaping, and a high V-Neck make this clean-lined, open front cardigan perfect for cool mornings. Hawley’s tweedy texture and cotton/silk/nylon blend make it an ideal top layer for casual weekend activities, and the longer hip length gives it fantastic drape. Perfect for the beginner learning basic sweater techniques. Sanibel Island is knit flat in pieces and then seamed.
