Olive Cardigan
-
Detail
Olive Cardigan is the top down sister pattern to our popular Olive Turtleneck. Its ribbed edges compliment the allover lace patterning. Worked with 1 strand of our fingering-weight yarn held together with 2 strands of Silk Mohair, this cardigan boasts the soft, cloud-like texture of our other Olive patterns. Olive Cardigan is worked seamlessly and back and forth, beginning with the ribbed neckband, and continuing with the raglan-construction yoke. The sleeve stiches are held aside, to be finished after the body is completed. Ribbed edges finish the sleeves and body.

Customer Reviews
Mrs. T************dge V
From coffee shop sketching to evening walks with my golden retriever this cardigan moves with me the fabric breathes but holds warmth the open front lets me adjust coverage as temps shift and the subtle ribbing adds quiet texture no pilling after three washes and the order arrived with a free matching stitch marker — such thoughtful details

This cardigan became my emotional armor during a hectic week — wore it to my sister’s wedding brunch then to the hospital visiting my dad the olive shade felt grounding the weight was just right for AC-heavy rooms and the pockets? Deep enough for my phone keys and a tissue plus the team included a reusable garment bag with a tiny thank-you sticker — made me tear up
Dr. B**********hmidt
Soft and stylish yes but the front hem rides up slightly when I sit at my desk for long stretches — had to smooth it down twice during a 3-hour writing session otherwise the color is dreamy the fit is relaxed but not sloppy and the knit feels premium not scratchy
Cali********cek
Threw this on before rushing to the farmers market and instantly felt like myself again — relaxed confident warm the buttons are sturdy and aligned perfectly no snagging no gapping and the back yoke gives such nice movement when reaching for avocados or hugging friends shipping was lightning fast and the garment smelled faintly of lavender from the eco-friendly packaging
Ad*****as
Absolutely love the olive tone — earthy and sophisticated not too loud not too dull fits true to size though I sized up for extra room around the hips and it flows beautifully the fabric has gentle stretch so no stiffness even after 6 hours of wear customer service replied within an hour when I asked about care instructions
Marjo**********oeder
Perfect for my home office days — breathable enough during Zoom calls but polished enough for surprise client drop-ins the drape is flattering without being boxy and the sleeves hit exactly at my wrist no bunching no slipping love how it layers over tees or turtlenecks
Kat*******rant
Wore this olive cardigan to my daughter's school play and felt so put-together yet cozy the soft knit hugged my shoulders just right and the color made my hazel eyes pop shipping arrived two days early and the packaging had a sweet handwritten note — pure joy wrapped in fabric
