PURCHASE RUMO By ALICE CAETANO PATTERN HERE
Rumo is all about direction. Constructed sideways in modular pieces, the cardigan is knit from the sides towards the centre four times over, using the reversibility and texture of garter stitch to its advantage. The sleeves are knit in the round and set in, creating a sleek and comfortable cardigan. Worked in our Niya 100% Silk yarn makes this cardi extra squishy and cozy.
