All About the Flor Cardigan

Build Your Wardrobe with the Flor Cardigan

This sleek wrap cardigan is perfect for layering, adding a touch of polish to any outfit. It's semi-fitted and comes with two lengths, hitting at the high hip or upper thigh.

Sew it up in medium-weight knit fabrics, like French terry, merino wool, and ribbing. Or pick a lightweight sweater knit or jersey.
