I announce you the release of my last cardigan “Shanghai Express”! It was inspired by the dandy style which makes it a unique design. It is feminine and very easy to wear.

This cardigan is a seamless from the top down, the sleeves are knitted in the round by picking up stitches from the body. It has a lace band pattern on the sleeves and on the back. You can wear it without closing or closed with your favorite pin.
