This loose, relaxed cardigan is wonderful to toss on over everything, be it jeans, a suit or a dress. It has an overall minimalist look, enlivened by the textured fabric, fashionable high-necked shape and easy pockets. It’s oversized shape ensures comfort, and the long length will make you fit in with the latest fashion. The broken brioche stitch gives it textural interest.
It can be made up of thick, lightweight cotton so it won’t be too hot, or a nice lightweight wool to keep you warm in winter. Modify it to suit your figure ( shown here in the extra tall version) and let it hug you all day long!
