Does the perfect micro-cardi exist? Yes! This simple button-front cropped cardigan features a fabulous asymmetrical shawl collar that can be styled several different ways, elbow-length sleeves, and overlapping front panels for a double-breasted effect. The tweed wool yarn is a warm neutral aptly named Latte, with visible flecks of brown, grey, and black. The back panel is 15" long from neckline to bottom; in front, the sleeve extends 8.5" from shoulder seam with 6.5" more from bottom of sleeve to hem. The 10" long sleeves have a generous 12" opening, sitting just above the elbow. The crescent-shaped collar in rows of lace stitch is 1" at its narrowest point on the left lapel, widening to 6" at nape and 12" where it ends on the right lapel. The asymmetrical profile of the collar is both flattering and versatile, allowing it to be worn open over the shoulder, draped in front, or secured like a jabot in back. When buttoned, the bottom of the cardigan is 38" in circumference; unbuttoned, the length of the garment end is 50" end to end. The front facings are 7" above the hemline, secured by two oval buttons in neutral pewter. Simple lines, elegant detailing, minimal length, and rich texture make this micro-cardi a beautiful wardrobe staple.
