Nerva by Mel Kennelly

Modernizing a classic cardigan with a clever construction, Nerva boasts a blend of timeless and contemporary style. Crocheted flat in one piece, then transformed into a finished sweater with a few folds and seams, Nerva offers a clean, structured fit that’s perfect for layering over any outfit.
