Our world has embraced loungewear, and we’re all for it—so long as your cozy, work-from-home wardrobe is made up of handmade pieces as elegant as Valentina’s brioche cardigan. Flâneur is worked from the top down in an allover two-color brioche stitch, with fashioned increases that create an eye-catching cascade of movement throughout. Knit in lofty Owl, the ‘art of doing nothing’ has never looked—nor felt—this good.

This pattern is also available as part of the 11 piece collection, Atelier.
