"Hard Candy Christmas" Cardigan

$14.50

Pink, peppermint, and a little Dolly Parton✨🦋. The "Hard Candy Christmas" Cardigan is our love letter to Dolly and the holidays, with a fitted, cropped silhouette, classic V-neck, long sleeves, and a button front.

Red-and-cream knitted candy canes cross at the yoke, joined by little embroidered starbursts for a vintage Christmas look with plenty of personality. The candy canes are removable, so you can bring them out for the holidays and wear the cardigan plain for the rest of the winter.

Named for Dolly Parton's "Hard Candy Christmas," this design celebrates the hope and gratitude at the heart of the season. We're here for the Christmas music, the old-fashioned decorations, the people we love, and the joy of celebrating. Put Dolly on the stereo, pick up your needles, and make something merry! May Dolly’s memory continue to be a blessing.

🎥Video Tutorials included for the candy canes and starburst embroidery.
