The perfect dressed up cardigan for cool spring and summer nights. I take fingering weight sweaters like this to restaurants, music shows, shopping, everywhere! Because you never know when the temperature will drop or the air conditioning will be too high.

A top down knit let’s you try on as you go to get the best fit for your body. Add ribbon trim for an extra dash of feminine appeal, or leave it off if that’s more your thing!
