• Product description

  “My love for slipped stitch patterns continues with this design, an all-over texture that from a distance gives the main fabric a woven look. The fit is oversized to create a cardigan that can be worn with multiple layers of clothing. I can picture it worn over a t-shirt in mild Fall temperatures or as a third layer over a shirt and sweater when the temperature drops.” – Julie Hoover
