Glitter

THIS CROPPED open cardigan, designed by Martin Storey, features a cable and lace rib pattern. Worked as a delicate edge to the hems and cuffs, and alongside the ribbed front bands, this texture adds interest and draws the eye to the waistline. The short-sleeved design uses the new Rowan Selects Patina yarn, a blend of merino and mohair that feels warm yet light.
