This is meant to be a loose fitting combination of a shawl, vest, and cardigan…hence, the name Shavestigan! It has a big loosely ribbed collar and can be worn open or closed with a shawl pin or brooch. It’s about 32” long from shoulder to hem. It’s quick and easy to knit! The bulk of the knitting is on size US 11 knitting needles and it’s made from softer-than-soft, gloriously colored Malabrigo Worsted Merino (our best-selling yarn!)
