When I was designing the Seasons Cardigan I couldn’t help but think about the different seasons in life that we all go through. The ebb and flow of new beginnings, constants, and endings. I wanted this cardigan to be worn a multitude of ways each season and a comfort in each season in life as well. A warm hug to get you through a tough day, throwing it on over a plain outfit to have that extra bit of cozy, and the one that becomes your favorite cardigan to wear simply because of the seasons it has lived. Giving life to your knits is something I have found so comforting, so rewarding, and you should be proud of each stitch created.

The Oversized Seasons Cardigan is a vintage inspired cardigan with a classic stitch design. It is worked top down and closed in the front with 4 buttons. The button band is worked simultaneously with the rest of the body which means less finishing work. The Oversized Seasons Cardigan is a cropped design that works well with any wardrobe.
