The House Blend Cardigan is the cozy sweater you get into on a Saturday morning and don’t take off unless you absolutely have to. It’s an especially long cardigan, ending at this below-average-heighted designer’s knees, and is knit from the bottom up in pieces and seamed. The yak in the yarn makes it super warm and luxurious to knit.
