Portia & Ellen
FOR HIS contemporary twist on the classic twinset concept, Kaffe Fassett has designed this bright cardigan and a matching vest which you can find on the following pages. The long cardigan has a swingy silhouette and pockets. Both projects are knitted in myriad shades of Rowan’s Cotton Glacé, a smooth mercerised cotton which offers a slight sheen and incredible stitch definition.
