Amadou (ENG)

Description Amadou is the French name of a mushroom growing on tree trunks that can be used as a starter for lighting a fire. Warm and cozy, the cardigan could be worn as a layering piece, almost like a coat, for chilly autumnal mornings or evenings. It has a generous amount of ease at the bust and arms, so choose a size based on how you’d like to wear your cardigan.
