Do you ever watch raindrops running down a window? Creating watery vertical lines and paths… There is something so soothing about watching the rain…
This seamless cardigan was designed to showcase the beauty of variegated yarns and their water-colored tones. It is knit sideways creating vertical lines that are flattering for a woman’s shape and fun to work too.
