There are times when a big coat is just too substantial for what you need to do - run, play, cuddle, dance - and at those times, we all love a squishy long knitted coatigan, a cosy cardi that masquerades as a coat. Esme is just that - delicious moss stitch traps the warmth and is super soft to curl up in, at school, at home, or racing around the garden.
