Meet the Cozy Fireside Cardigan

Winters in the Seaway Valley of northern New York are cold, with some nights dropping to below -40°F without windchill. Once October hits, residents are pulling out thick, cozy sweaters to help fight the bitterness. This oversized, unisex cardigan was created with that in mind.

The front features traditional cables to enhance the warmth, and the back is simple stockinette, providing a break from the cables as you knit. Pair this V-neck with a scarf to complete the perfect fireside look.
