For simple, elegant style, reach for a long, open-front cardigan. Palmer’s light fabric of Loft makes it warm but weightless, and its minimalist design highlights a few perfect details like fully fashioned shoulders and generous pockets. The deep single-rib hem draws in to gently shape the otherwise straight silhouette. Palmer is a versatile garment that will suit almost any occasion, so choose a color that will complement everything in your closet. Construction The pieces are worked flat from the bottom up and sewn together. The collar is picked up along the front edges and back neck edge and worked flat.
