Tin Can Knits’ Classic Cardigan is a perfect example of how a basic wardrobe piece doesn’t have to be boring! The top-down raglan construction, in a pattern written with Tin Can Knits’ trademark clarity, makes for a confusion-free process, while Berroco Ultra Wool (100% superwash wool) provides washability in a range of classic heathered, bright, and neutral colors.
