The Wanderer Cardigan in Forest & Earth
Bold diagonal stripes sweep across the body like brushstrokes on a canvas. Every single Gigante Cardigan is handknitted — no two will ever be identical. This is walking art, not fast fashion.
A real Gigante Cardigan, handknitted by us in Forest & Earth, in super chunky Corriedale. Yours knits to the same pattern and the same colours. The last image is the colour sketch.
