Berroco Ximena is a simple yet stunning women’s longline cardigan knit in Fika.

Ximena is knit flat in one piece seamlessly from the bottom up with deep k2 and p2 ribbing. Hand-dyed Speckle effect, machine-washable, all pretty neutral colors FIKA is a Swedish concept of taking time for the little things, stepping back, recharging, and relaxing.
