Even though the sun is still shining bright, the season of waking up to chilly mornings and brisk weather has begun, and with it our desire to reach for something soft and comfy.

The Boyfriend Diamond Cardigan is a versatile, super cuddly and lofty garment for this time of the year. Thisl uxury keepsake boyfriend cardigan was designed to be unisex and works for everyone.

Made on a US #10.5 needle for a relaxed soft construction, this cardi is not over-sized like others we’ve seen. Inspiration came from one of our favorite designers -- Chanel -- with their classic quilted design. Playing with the pattern stitch, the result was an elongated taller diamond creating a flattering silhouette.

Pair it with jeans or slacks or wear it with a leather jumper or skirt. For work, try layering it with a collared shirt or on the casual side, wear with a cami and a flannel buttoned shirt. The V-neck shaping is the perfect choice so you can accessorize with your favorite scarf or cowl.
