Serena | Knit Cardigan Lantern Sleeves Open Front

Chunky yarn. Sleeves balloon. Easy.

The sleeves decide this one: full through the arm, gathered into a soft lantern shape at the cuff. The open front falls straight without fastening, so nothing bunches at the waist when you layer it over a tee or a slip dress. It is cut generously through the body, with a drop shoulder that keeps the line relaxed rather than shapeless. If you sit between sizes, size down for a closer fit; take your usual size for the slouch shown here.

Lantern Sleeves That Give a Plain Outfit Shape The volume through the arm does the work on a jeans-and-tee day. Gathered cuffs hold the knit off your hands while you type.

Open Front That Layers Without Bulk With no buttons to pull, the cardigan hangs clean over a dress or a shirt. It sits easily under a coat, which is where most chunky knits fail.

Drop Shoulder That Keeps the Line Soft The shoulder seam falls onto the upper arm, so the knit drapes from the body rather than gripping it.

Chunky Knit With Weight That Holds Its Drape A thick, lofty yarn knitted in a close stitch, substantial enough to hang straight from the shoulder instead of clinging. Ribbing at the cuffs and hem anchors the volume, and the front edges are finished flat so they fall without curling.

Wear it over a white tee with straight-leg denim and boots, or use it as a long cardigan alternative above a midi slip.
