A chunky cardigan is a wardrobe essential, but some styles can look baggy and unflattering. This design, however, manages to be both feminine and cosy. The ribbed lace fabric will keep you warm, while the shawl collar drapes elegantly.
A touch of shaping is added too, by working the waist on smaller needles.
