INTRODUCTION
As most knitters, I love to wear my knits all the time. But at work, a nice big sweater might sometimes look a little too cosy and casual, giving me the feeling of being underdressed. So when I want to look professional and sophisticated, and be warm and comfortable at the same time, this is my go-to-cardigan. It has simple and minimalistic lines and subtle details like a faux seam and all around ribbing that accentuates the round shapes of the fronts. Wearing it is like a warm embrace on cold winterdays, but it is also very wearable as extra layer in autumn and spring when the mornings and evenings are chilly but the days are warm.
