Wool and the Gang | Elizabeth Cardigan Kit

Look no further, ladies: this cardigan has pockets. The Wool and the Gang Elizabeth Cardigan Kit is the ultimate classic cardigan, ready to cuddle you with warmth all winter long. It’s long enough to warm your bottom and roomy enough to toss on over your favorite outfit. And did we mention the pockets?

Cardigans are a wardrobe staple, and over the past few years they’ve become a must-have component for a transitional season wardrobe. The Elizabeth Cardigan is a timeless version that will be in style year-in and year-out. It’s perfect as a solo piece or as an additional layer on cold days.

The Elizabeth Cardigan kit uses Wool and the Gang’s Alpachino Merino. It’s a bulky alpaca/merino blend that is soft, squishy and oh so huggable. (Just like you’ll be if you’re wearing this cardigan!) It’s 100% natural and a perfect weight for year-round knitting.
