Inspired by classic granny squares, the Not a Granny cardigan offers a fresh take on nostalgia. It features a clever construction: two knitted hexagons create a shape that’s both eye-catching and fun to make. Playful, thoughtful, and full of personality — this is definitely not your grandma’s old cardigan.
