Velvety cardigan is designed with a slouchy modern silhouette in mind. The loose and wide square set-in sleeve and boxier body make for a perfectly casual look. The sweater is knitted in an easy yet beautiful texture that creates a fluffy and airy structure to the garment. Velvety is knitted bottom up. Sleeves are picked up along the armhole and knit top down.

The model on the picture is 169 cm tall and wears a size 2.
