Rosanna by Elizabeth Smith Knits | Rosanna is a short-sleeved cardigan, perfect for light layering. It’s knit seamlessly from the top-down & features simple eyelet details and a slight A-line body silhouette. The front bands are buttonless for a more open, layering-style look, but I also provide tips for adding buttonholes if you prefer.
