This is a very interesting piece between cardigan, poncho and wrap. Casual, floating, warming when necessary and very stylish.
I call it THROWOVER. It is a rectangular kimono like shape with open sides and front fastening with decorative buttons. The side hems are crossed under the arm and keep it with this construction in place when wearing. All the hems, edges and shoulder rims in the second color are doubled to give the shape some strength.

This is a very special piece: modern, timeless, clear cuts with some twists. Easy to wear over almost everything and always stylish!

Construction:
A washed and blocked big gauge is essential to meet the measurements.
The Throwover is made in 1 piece from the back bottom up over the shoulders down to the front bottoms. It has doubled hems at the bottoms. The sides are framed with a double band knitted on and crossed under the arms. The back shoulders are reinforced with a double band in the “framing” color brown (or your second color). The front v-neck and front edges are finished with an I-cord edge.
