Knitting Needles by Dean-Minion Mohair Trim Cardigan - L

From the Knitting Needles of Dean-Minion — that label alone tells you this came from a small-batch maker who named their line after the tools. Periwinkle blue body knit in a tight seed stitch, trimmed at the neckline, placket, and hem with a brushed mohair-blend border in silver grey that catches light like frost on a windowsill. The kind of cardigan that was somebody's favorite before it was yours.

Condition

Good — The knit body is clean and intact with no holes or pulls. Mohair trim retains its texture with minor wear. All buttons present. Some softening from wear that only makes a knit like this more comfortable. The hem sits slightly uneven, which appears to be by design.
