Milton by Joji Locatelli is a new cardigan pattern featuring La Bien Aimée Sport Nouveau and Mohair Silk. Inspired by another of Joji's designs, Elton, Milton has the same textured stripes in Mohair Silk, making this cardigan light as a feather and delicately elegant. However, Milton has a great open shawl collar and a long body. It is perfect to throw on over a dress or your favorite skinny jeans and a tank top, it will instantly elevate the style of any outfit.
