Omba Cardigan
Omba is a short, swing cardigan with cable detailing down the center back, sleeves and side seams. For warmer days ahead, Omba can add color and texture to your day without feeling heavy. Using short rows to create a slightly curved hem gives the cardigan a very feminine feel and look, perfect for pairing with skirts and dresses or dressed down with jeans. Knit with Echoview Fiber Mill's Ranger DK, it's both soft and lightweight.
