It can be difficult to find the perfect sweater for constantly changing temperatures — freezing outdoors and sweating indoors when the heating is on. This cardigan is the answer. Button up to the neck for a cozy turtleneck to help protect you from winter winds, or leave it buttoned down for in your home or office.

As it is mainly cotton, it can comfortably be worn indoors, but the touch of wool gives it that little extra warmth for cooler temperatures. Smooth waist shaping gives it a nicely tailored look that flatters any figure, yet there is enough room to wear the sweater over a warmer top. To avoid the stress of sewing in sleeve caps, this cardigan is designed with top-down, shortrow sleeve caps. This allows you to customize the sleeve length and create the perfect sleeve cap for your shoulder.
