Description
Classic style with modern fit – the Mae Cardigan features striking twisted stitch detail on the fronts and sleeves, with comfortable shaping for nearly any figure. It’s both dainty and rugged in a hearty fingering weight wool.
I’m a sucker for a classic cardigan and I firmly believe you can never have too many.
Knit your bust size for a fit with 2” of ease. If you like a little more room in your cardigans, go up one size (if you’re on gauge).
