Amber is a short-sleeved, V-neck cardigan with a classic raglan construction, a meditative texture pattern on the sleeves, and stockinette on the body. It is knitted from the top down, with a flattering sleeve length cut to just above the elbow and a slightly cropped body length for a feminine and summer feel. The V-neck shaping ends high enough to wear the cardigan on its own as a top or as the perfect accompaniment over a floaty summer dress or a crisp white tee.
