A breezy openwork cardigan in 9 sizes XS(S, M, L, 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X) with surface design derived from arts and crafts pottery motifs; the depth and shimmer of rich ceramic glazes is replicated by using a silky yarn blend. Comfortable raglan shaping and a slightly more open neckline make this sweater a go-to piece for mild weather. Cardigan is knit top-down in one piece without seams and features allover lace patterning with ribbed trims and button bands.
