The Fibre Co. Kaizen PDF

Kaizen is the Japanese word for ‘continuous improvement,’ and that is the idea that inspired Renée Callahan to create this beautiful sweater. Here the traditional cardigan shape is improved with the addition of four pocket and garter stitch details on the collar and pocket flaps. Fibre Company Acadia, an absolutely stunning blend of merino, baby alpaca, and silk, shines in this classic design.
