Windowlit is one of those easy-to-wear sweaters that goes over everything. Designed as a non-closing cardigan (the fronts don’t meet in the middle), it’s that extra little handy layer you’ll want nearby.

The construction is pretty straightforward: the cast-on is at the back hem, work travels up and over the shoulders where the fronts are knit separately down to front hems. Sleeve tabs are purely aesthetic, and entirely optional.
