The Sunlight Cardigan is an oversized, slightly cropped cardigan full of granny square squishiness. It features a higher neck, but not too close, a squishy folded collar and subtle bell shaped sleeves. This pattern combines crochet and knitting with the granny squares forming the body and the knit ribbing bringing everything together.
