Simple comforts… enter the Mocha cardigan, a comfortable open front sweater perfect for those stay-at-home coffee and knitting days, yet perfectly suitable as an all around sweater. Use your pretty pins to close the front for a slimmer fit and dressier look!

By request, this is the adult version of “Josie’s Cardigan”

With a loose, relaxed fit, cozy drape front collar, and slightly dropped sleeves. Wear the neck folded as a shawl collar or standing up for warmth.

An easy and comforting knit with plenty of stockinette, with a little texture on the collar to keep things interesting.

Sweater body is knit in one piece to the armholes where the back and fronts are divided and continued separately with shaping. The collar is continued from the fronts and sewn together and stitched to the back neck. Sleeves are knit in the round and sewn to the body.
