Uo is a comfy, wearable kimono-style cardigan with lots and lots (I mean lots!) of positive ease. Wrap it around you like a blanket, sip your favorite hot beverage and put on your favorite podcast or read that book you always reach for when cozy time comes around.

The construction is easy peasy, but the variation in texture on the body and the broken rib on the sleeve cuffs are eye-catching details.

The pattern lends itself to silky mohair and wool combinations (you’ll feel like a fluffy cloud), or a drapey wool and linen or silk blend for a cardigan to keep you warm during the transitional seasons.
