This romantic cardigan is inspired by pastoral scenes of French farm life. It is an easy to wear, functional sweater with lovely feminine touches. The merino/alpaca yarn makes it comfortable and warm. The color work above the hem recalls folk art decoration. The lace edging adds a special touch and the icord tie finishes it off with homemade style.
