The third addition to the best selling “Get a Drip” series is this super cute cardi. This series is inspired by the melting of ice-cream. It’s a fun and playful design with so many colour combos to really make this knit your own! This cardi is oversized and relaxed on the body, with fun balloon sleeves. It’s a super cosy cardi to chuck on over anything, with a real wow impact. You wouldn’t see one this seamlessly melting on the high-street!
