The Esme Maxi Cardigan is an oversized, super cozy and relaxed piece of clothing. Esme features a chunky button closure, large in-seam front pockets, dropped shoulders and rolled-up cuffs that emphasise the casual and carefree look.

Choose a medium weight or heavy knit fabric with 20-40% stretch. For the pocket bags, pick a medium-weight, sturdy knit fabric that matches your main fabric. Make sure your pocket bag fabric isn't heavier than the main fabric.
