Vintage 1950s–60s olive green novelty knit cardigan featuring charming pink cattail (bullrush) embroidery—an eye-catching mid-century detail that gives this piece real personality.
Open-front design with no closures, making it easy to layer over dresses, camisoles, or tailored pieces. Medium-weight knit with a wool feel, freshly hand washed and blocked.
A great crossover piece—equally at home styled minimalist and modern or leaning into its botanical, mid-century charm.
