Romane is a first name used in France for little girls. Roman is a first name used in the UK for little boys. Yet, both names are pronounced exactly the same. Maybe Romane and Roman could share their cardigan…

Note: Either short or long sleeved, there is also an option to work the cardigan as an A-line (as pictured) or go for a straighter fit.
