About

This cardigan was specifically designed for the starry-eyed crocheters. It’s a lightweight transitional piece with a slight academic aesthetic. I wanted to design a piece with the star stitch for the readers and the dreamers, and I couldn’t be more excited about the result!

The crewneck shape and texture of the star stitch combine to make a truly unique cardigan- one that is both traditional in shape and dreamy in style.

Pick out your favorite autumn-themed colorway, press play on an audiobook, and crochet your new favorite cardigan.
