The Shaun Sweater is a 100% classic garment with a slightly oversized fit that will flatter any body type. I wanted to knit myself something chunky for upcoming fall/winter that won’t make me look like a balloon and yet will feature oversized silhouette and beautiful chunky knit details. But more important than that I wanted a sweater that can be layered under winter coats and will keep me comfy and warm. So here how The Shaun Sweater was born – stitch by stitch it came out as a perfectly bold piece that suits any occasion. It looks great with skinny or ripped boyfriend jeans, and almost any type of shoes, be it sneakers or boots. I hope you’ll enjoy wearing it as much as I do!
