This is a comfortable oversized cardigan perfect for wearing
around the house or for a walk on days where there is a chill in
the air, but not enough to warrant a coat.
The best thing about this garment, apart from it being a musthave
wardrobe staple that will be used for years to come, is its
easy construction. It will surprise you to see that it is assembled
like a small puzzle, although it is knit in one piece.
I knew that the photos for this cardigan had to be taken on the
Plaza de Azcarraga, because it has a special place in my
heart. I remember the first time I came to this square, when I
had just arrived in A Coruña, twenty-something years ago. It
was raining, but in the centre of the square I felt sheltered; the
same way I feel when wearing the Puzzle Cardigan.
