I love the cozy oversized fit of this casual cardigan. The longer length allows it to be worn with leggings or as outerwear for spring or fall days. Moss stitch adds an element of luscious texture and depth to the fabric.

This cardigan is knit seamlessly from the bottom up. The back and two front panels are then knit separately at the armholes. The pockets are optional and the width of the border band can be adjusted for a more open or closed front. Choose a size that is 10-12”/ 25-30cm larger than your chest measurement. Model shown is wearing 46”/ 117cm on 34”/ 86cm chest circumference.
