Lepo Cardigan by Novita Design Studio

Craft: Knitting

A beautiful cardigan is soft luxury at its very best. Knitted in Novita Aino yarn, the Lepo Cardigan is exquisitely soft and gently wraps around the body, becoming a trusted wardrobe staple for any closet. Worked seamlessly from the top down, the design follows the body’s natural lines and is easy to adjust to your own measurements. Made with thick, dream-soft Novita Aino yarn, the cardigan is also quick and wonderfully satisfying to knit.
