Amapola Cardigan

Designed by Claudia Q

Find the kit here. 

Amapola is Spanish for Poppy, representing both simplicity and brilliance in this new design. The cardigan is a quick, chunky knit with an elegant detailed neckband, and balloon sleeves that cinch in at the wrist for a feminine look. The Amapola Cardigan is a wonderful transition piece that can be layered up for winter, or celebrated on its own as we move into spring.
