Paula Pereira is drawn to the variety of ways to wear a classic twinset. Her Casadinho Cardigan can be worn both on its own or together with the slipover of the same name. The cardigan features a textured rib pattern that looks stunning yet is easy to knit. The practical pockets add a finishing touch.
