This sweater was inspired by the warm fuzzy feeling of wandering under the stars in amazement of just how big and wonderful the Universe is. I wanted to create an easy to wear cardigan with a flowy shape that allows for wrapping yourself up in it when the chill of autumn blows through.

The colors and textures I chose resemble the stars and sky – sleek grey in stockinette juxtaposed with fuzzy and bright bits of star matter.

Midnight Stroll is knit from side to side with seamless set-in sleeves shaped with short-rows and stitches are picked up for the edgings and collar.
