Warm knitwear so often means scratchy knitwear!
Just imagine a thick, textured cardigan you can wear straight against your arms all afternoon without once wanting to take it off. Now stop imagining, because the Brenda is knitted in a soft, brushed yarn with all its texture on the outside.

-
Popcorn Stitch Bands
Rows of raised bobble stitch alternate with smooth stripes right down the body and sleeves. The texture is what makes it interesting to look at. It is all worked into the surface, so nothing rubs.
-
Soft Against The Skin
The yarn is brushed smooth rather than left coarse, so there is no prickle at the wrists or the neck. You can wear it over a short-sleeved tee quite happily. That alone decides how often a knit gets worn.
-
Longline V Shape
It falls past the hip and opens in a deep V at the front. The line is long and unbroken, which is flattering over jeans or a skirt. It covers what you would rather it covered.
-
Generous Slouchy Sleeves
The sleeves are wide and soft, gathering into a ribbed cuff. There is plenty of room for a long-sleeved layer underneath. Push them up and they hold.
-
Terracotta Or Plum
Both are warm, grown-up shades rather than bright ones. Terracotta glows against cream and denim; plum is beautiful with gray and black. Neither one will date.
A knit you keep taking off is a knit you stop wearing. The Brenda stays soft against your skin from the first morning, carries its texture on the outside where it belongs, and quietly becomes a weekend habit.
