Freestyler cardigan

“You can never have too many basic garments.
I’m quite warm and for me the ultimate garment is a cardigan. Use it closed or open, depending on what the thermometer shows.
I am also a friend of practicality. I have countless numbers of cardigans lying around, completely finished. Well, when knitted – none of them have got their buttons. Instead, I have discovered that the ideal for me is not just a cardigan, but a cardigan with a zipper.
I am also weak for color, although what you often need is more neutral garments that can be combined with several different garments.
All this collided in what became the Freestyler Cardigan, The love for color is expressed in the form of a pocket as a contrast to a stylish background. Enjoy your knitting!
