He Ain't Heavy
The day my firstborn met his lil bro for the first time, we placed baby in his arms to take photos and I caught him whispering “I wuv you” into his little brother’s ear. He held his brother really carefully and protectively and I thought to myself, “he’s suddenly all grown up…”.
“He Ain’t Heavy” is styled like a Varsity Jacket, with details that give this cardigan a “designer-look” despite its everyday wearability. Details include:
- Contrast sleeves and finishing (completely seamless)
- Icord buttonholes
- Icord edging
- Set-in pockets
- Stripes on the right sleeve
- Short-row collar (trust me, it’s not as difficult as it sounds!)
- If you prefer, you can add a zipper to replace buttons!
Knit in sport weight (5ply), this light-weight cardigan will be your go-to choice for any season.
