THIS V-NECK cardigan by Erika Knight is a wardrobe staple - reliable, unfussy and just as good over jeans as it is over a dress. Knit it in bright colour to enliven any outfit - Erika has used the warm orange shade of Rowan’s Pebble Island. This project has been designed so that it can be worn back to front as a V-neck sweater with a button back detail.
