Color block cardigan

Color blocks and stripes are the focus! Narrow or wide, contrasting or cleverly disguised - enjoy their diversity.

A real sensation! When creating this model, the principles of patchwork sewing were masterfully used. The piece features a pearl pattern in four contrasting colors, including long, wide sleeves. The straight, loose silhouette features a V-neck and elasticated hem. The shelves are fastened with a button, and a large button with butterflies serves as decoration.
