Oxford Boyfriend Cardigan

This casual open-front cardigan designed by Alexandra Tavel (Two of Wands) became a favorite as soon as it arrived at Lion Brand. We loved the original so much, shown below in Dune Buggy Denim and Trucker’s Taupe, that we put together 3 additional variations that are available on the kit page.
