At first glance, it’s a classic cardigan but look again. Pearson’s thoughtful details include oversized front pockets and a luxurious double-thick front/neckband with a perfectly placed single button. The deep raglan sleeves provide plenty of room for a loose-fitting shirt to be worn beneath (without bunching up at the underarm).

Construction
Pearson is worked in pieces from the bottom up and sewn together, then the neckband is worked separately and sewn on, keeping the cardigan’s fit thoroughly intact for years to come.
