From Hollywood Knits: This is the sweater I made for Kate Beckinsale to wear in the movie Serendipity. In one scene she is skating in New York’s Central Park and they wanted something she could move in, not too fitted and feminine. The sweater looked beautiful on her--it’s not too long, and it hits the hip at just the right place. Although a fairly heavy wool, you can wear this piece all year round as a wrap to bring with you in case it gets chilly in the evening. I used a shell button instead of wood to make it a bit more elegant.
