Shibui Knits Clark’s timeless shape using Nest. Looking for the ideal work
cardi? Look no further. Shibui Knits Clarke is a long, generously shaped
cardigan with rib and lateral braid details, worked flat in one piece from the
bottom up. A shaped stand-up collar is worked over the joined fronts and back.
Full-length sleeves are worked flat from the cuff up, then set-in and seamed. Nest
is the essence of comfort and features a soft inner core of cozy wool and
alpaca wrapped in contrasting wool threads.
