About Carantec
Lace covers the fronts and the back, letting the light pass through its small openwork motifs. The three-quarter sleeves in stockinette give it a relaxed look, while the ribbed bands outline the V-neck and the front opening. A single button holds the two fronts together at the base of the neckline; below it, the cardigan hangs open, showing the outfit it goes with.
Knitted from the top down with a raglan construction, Carantec is worked in Malva by Natissea, a cotton yarn. Part of the Côtes à Côtes collection, it finds its place over a light dress or a tank top, to make the hours outdoors last longer, from the first coffee on a terrace to the cool of the evening.
