Thistle WrapDesigned by Adrienne LarsenWrapped garments are pieces that never go out of style and are so easy to wear and the Thistle Wrap is no exception. It is a cozy cardigan that will stand the test of time. The cropped silhouette is great for layering over dresses or for pairing with high-waisted skirts. Bust darts and set-in sleeves ensure the perfect fit. Knit in soft, hazy Alaska, you’ll love knitting this piece as much as you’ll love wearing it.
