This drop-shoulder cardigan in garter rib is the throw-on-over-everything sweater your wardrobe needs. The open front and relaxed fit make it perfect for layering, while the textured stitch pattern shows off Berroco Stratto’s soft halo beautifully. It works up fast and wears even better.

Knit in pieces from the bottom up and seamed.
