Oscen

Oscen is a cozy-yet-lightweight cardigan, with minimal shaping and slip stitch ribbing. Knit holding one strand of wool and one strand of mohair for a beautiful, ethereal fabric. Inspired by the early morning hours, and named after the latin word for songbird, wrap up in this comfortable cardigan while enjoying your favorite morning beverage as you watch the sunrise and listen to the beautiful songs of your local songbirds.
