Jessica's Boyfriend Cardigan
This sweater is designed to the specifications of my dear stepdaughter Jessica, who asked for a “boyfriend sweater.” I took that to mean something easy and comfortable and that would go with everything, just like a good boyfriend. Worked from the bottom up in pieces, the design features an easy A-line fit, extra-long raglan sleeves, and very handy “kangaroo” pockets.
