Is there any other reason we knit, than to share our love? Maybe we knit for loved family members; maybe we knit for those in need; maybe we knit for ourselves. But behind all of those stitches, I believe the main driving force is love. This cardigan is like being wrapped up in a snuggly warm hug from someone who loves you. Smooth stockinette, cozy garter stitch and squishy brioche combine with simple raglan shaping to make this one of your favourite new comfort knits. Knit to the length you desire and the neckband depth that you prefer, this piece will quickly become a wardrobe staple.
