Can you think of anything more fanciful than a sweater knit in Big Birdie? We can’t either! The Fancy Sweater is a simple raglan knit top-down and in the round. We fancy a knit that can be dressed up or down, and the Fancy Sweater is just that! It’s lightweight yet cozy, and simple but dare we say, fancy.
