There’s something irresistible about a layer that transforms an outfit in an instant. Hilda is my go-to for that extra touch of texture and style — cropped and modern with bold cables that make it anything but basic.

Whether I wear it over a shirt for a smart edge or layer it with a breezy summer dress, this slipover is truly a must-knit. The rhythm of cables keeps me engaged, and the chunky yarn means it flies off the needles quickly.
