Cookies is a crocheted cardigan made of hexagonal motifs, which, with the specific joining method, mimics needlepoint lace and creates a spectacular stitch pattern of circles.

The fronts are slightly over-sized for a cozy and comfortable fit.

Strategically placed pentagonal motifs are used to create smooth, flowing lines on the fronts, to achieve a straight neckline, and to taper the bottom of the sleeves while still maintaining the continuity of the circular pattern.
