Lindsay Degen of DEGEN puts the focus on fit proportion and vibrant color combinations in this playful collection for adults. Each garment or accessory explores a different technique -- including stripes, brioche, zigzags, and more.

Holding together a strand of Alegria for body and a strand of Cabrito for luxurious warmth makes the Bubble Brioche Cardigan the ultimate in cozy. A clever shift from brioche to classic k1, p1 rib forms both the bell shape of the sleeve and the bubble shape of the body.
