Texture takes center stage in this wear-with-everything cardigan, with a dynamite combination of cables and moss stitch. Worked from the bottom up in one piece, a foldover collar provides the perfect finish to this warm and snuggly layer and has it ready for crisp fall walks and cozy nights by the fireplace.
