Maylin Cropped Cardigan

Maylin is a simple, cropped V-neck cardigan with bishop-style sleeves and a ribbed texture. Cardigan utilizes the use of two different color yarns in a similar color tone to add interest and contrast to the design. You could also use contrasting colors to make a bolder fashion statement.
