The Marine Layer Iris Crewneck Cardigan is a women's polka-dot intarsia cardigan with raglan sleeves and an easy hip-length fit. The pattern is knitted directly into the fabric rather than printed on top, which gives it real texture and depth — and none of the itch you might brace for from a sweater with this much personality.

A soft triblend of cotton, nylon and Merino wool keeps it substantial without weighing you down. In Navy & Gold it does plenty of work on its own: wear it over a tee, layer it under a coat, or hang it over your shoulders and let it be the entire outfit.

At DavProCo, our local shop picked the Iris because sweater weather deserves something with a point of view. This one has opinions, and it is right about most of them.
