Alfonsina | Merino Wool Cardigan

Alfonsina is an iconic GIA cardigan, hand-knitted in crochet with 100% extra-fine merino wool. Its yoke combines open and closed stitches creating a subtle transparency effect, while double ruffles on the shoulders and collar give it a romantic, distinctive air. The four hand-carved horn buttons are the standout detail: natural, timeless essence.

When to wear it. Alfonsina is the cardigan that dresses you effortlessly: over a dress at a daytime wedding, with jeans and a white shirt at Sunday lunch, draped over the shoulders on cool summer nights. The sheer yoke makes it the most delicate layer in our catalog — warmth without weight.

Who it's for. For those who love the romantic done right: the ruffles, the openwork, the carved button. It's also a gift with a story — hand-carving horn is a Uruguayan craft that has nearly disappeared, and here it closes every front.
