Open front cardigans are my favorite sweater type because you can put them on in a jiffy, and you look so much more approachable than when all buttoned up!

This one (worked top-down in raglan construction – of course seamless, as always) has an interesting textured pattern on the sleeves and the back part of the wide hem. The hem as well as the cuffs are set off by an elegant chained row (easy to make with a detailed picture tutorial), and last, but not least, there are pockets hidden in the hem – just what you need to feel relaxed, but still well dressed!
