SAMARA is a relaxed, loose-fit cardigan and robe that features drop shoulders, 7⁄8 length sleeves, square patch pockets, a neckband and a belt that can be tied at the waist.

Version 1 is a cardigan style with the hemline ending just below the hip.

Version 2 is a robe style with the hemline ending just below the knee. This style works great in both knit and woven fabrics and can be sewn on a serger or regular sewing machine.

The Samara cardigan is perfect for a cool day when made in a warm, cozy knit. The robe is beautiful in a lightweight woven fabric on a summer night, worn as a light jacket over jeans and a simple T-shirt or a dress.
