✨ What Makes This Cardigan Special
• Convertible styling: Wear with buttons in front or back for two looks in one.

• Top versatility: Works as both a cardigan and a summery top.
• Size inclusivity: Broad size range supports a variety of fits.
👗 Style & Wear Tips
Wear Hey Sailor! with high-waisted trousers or a breezy linen skirt for effortless summer style. Cropped length pairs beautifully with high waists, while full length adds a laid-back layering option over dresses. Choosing contrasting colours for the slipped-stitch stripes and base enhances visual interest and makes your knit stand out. Blocking gently opens the fabric and helps achieve polished stitch definition — encouraging longer engagement and Click-Through Rate.
