A Long, Textured Cardigan // Design By Triona Murphy
Glenwood is a long, cozy cardigan with plenty of yummy texture. Worked from the bottom up in pieces and seamed for structure, the sweater is comfortable yet stylish and works equally well for running errands, going out with friends, or snuggling in front of a roaring fire.
