Zephyros Cardigan Kit

This gorgeous raglan cardigan features a distorted 1×1 rib stich and a deep V-neck. Zephyros, derived from the name for a prevailing warm and gentle breeze, has lots of texture and visual interest for very little effort. Our brushed Cirro yarn softens the rib and makes this cardigan truly special, being made from Suri alpaca, organic cotton and Merino wool. Knit it cropped or work it to your ideal length and end with 4 beautiful buttons. Get ready to fall in love!
