“Habee” is a shortened way of saying of grandfather in Korean. It is what my son lovingly calls my father.
This cardigan was named after him and gives a true grandfather vibe - classic and timeless.
The Habee Cardigan is a seamless, top-down sweater construction with small pockets for little treasures. There is an option to build the pockets right into the sweater or to have the pockets built into the collar of the sweater. This sweater is perfect for layering when the weather is chilly, but not cold.
