If knitwear has scent, this one definitely smells like sesame to me. A serious sweater with a cute name indicates its contradictory characters. It is a little handsome but also a little feminine, a little casual but also a little elegant. This oversized sweater with extra wide hem is worked in stockinette stitch and ribbing for trims.
Sesame sweater is worked from top down.
