My Favorite Cardi-again
I wanted a sweater that would feel as comfortable as wearing one of my big brother's sweaters, but look a bit more ladylike and pulled-together. A generously oversized hug of a jacket to layer over anything and everything. Pockets? - a must, for me. Add to the mix some easy "cabled" detailing to make it fun to knit and fun to wear, and you have My Favorite Cardi-again. (You'll wear it again and again!) Sizes S/M (44"), M/L (48"), and L/XL (52").
