Cascading front panels and comfy slouchy sleeves make this the cardi of choice for everything from a day about town to working around the house to sitting quietly with your crochet projects.
We patterned this piece with a generous oversize fit through the body but added structure in the set-in sleeves to make it comfy and easy to wear and love. Once you make this and wear it, you will see why the drape front cardi has been a style favorite year after year.
