Detail
Olive Cardigan V-neck is part of our Olive pattern family – designs that showcase an allover lace patterning with ribbed edges. Worked seamlessly from the top down with 1 strand of Merino and 2 strands of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout, it is soft, light and airy – just like a cloud. This cardigan features, as the name suggests, a deep V-neck and the Olive stitch pattern. The button band in double-knitting complements the elegant allover lace patterning.
You start with the two fronts and continue with the back down to the underarms. Here the two front pieces and back piece are joined on one needle, working back and forth. Sleeve stitches are picked up and the sleeves shaped with short rows and then worked in the round. Wide ribbed edges finish the body and sleeves. The button band is worked in double-knitting at the end.
The Olive stitch pattern is charted only.Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL)

Customer Reviews

Fits like it was measured by my therapist — relaxed but intentional the olive is earthy not dull and the V-neck gives just enough collarbone visibility without screaming ‘look at me’ shipped fast and the order confirmation email had a GIF of a cat in a tiny cardigan — yes I laughed out loud
Lyl*******DVM
Bought it for my book club’s ‘cozy mystery’ theme night and ended up wearing it every day since the weight is perfect for AC-heavy offices and breezy patios the sleeves roll up cleanly no floppy cuffs and the drape? like poetry in knit form arrived with a tiny seed paper thank-you card — planted it today

This cardigan saved my ‘casual Friday’ credibility at the office the V-neck keeps it polished under blazers and the olive tone hides coffee splatters like magic washed it twice on gentle and it came out looking brand new shipped from NY to Oregon in 3 days flat felt like getting hugged by confidence

Love the color and fit but wish the buttons were slightly larger — fumbled them twice while rushing out the door for school pickup the material is buttery soft though and it layers beautifully over turtlenecks customer service sent a replacement set of vintage-style brass buttons same day

Wore it teaching my Zoom yoga class and students asked where I got it the cut flatters my broad shoulders and narrow waist and the olive tone makes my hazel eyes pop no pilling after 3 washes and the tag didn’t itch once packaging included a reusable cotton drawstring bag — sustainable AND stylish win

So cozy for my morning coffee walks — the fabric breathes just enough so I don’t overheat but still hugs my shoulders like a warm hug the V-neck gives me that ‘I tried’ energy without trying too hard delivery was 2 days early and the box smelled faintly like lavender — unexpected but lovely

Finally found a cardigan that doesn’t swallow me whole I’m 6’2” and usually drown in sleeves but this one hits *just* right at the wrist the olive color is richer in person and pairs perfectly with my flannels customer service even upgraded my shipping when I mentioned I needed it for a job interview — total mood lifter

Wore this olive cardigan to my sister’s backyard brunch and got three compliments before I finished my mimosa the V-neck is effortlessly chic and the drape? chef’s kiss soft but structured enough to not look like I’m wearing a napkin shipped lightning fast and packed with a handwritten note that made me smile
