Being outside at all times of year is a must for me and lately I’ve found myself grabbing those sweaters that are just a tiny bit slouchy, that fit easily over my button-up shirts, and offer that extra bit of coziness. And I’ve been craving a sweater that’s both basic and extravagant, one that will feel like a neutral while still satisfying my knitter’s need to add a little spice. Squish is your archetypal cabled cardigan designed for layering both on fancy cold-weather occasions and just for everyday chores. Wear it under overalls in the garden or over linen for a coffee date.
