There’s not much in this world that’s quite like pulling on a warm and cozy sweater that’s been made for you by one of the people closest to your heart. But as times wear on, intimate keepsakes wear down and the once cozy and sentimental fashions created by our loved ones cease to be a realistic wardrobe option.

If you want to rediscover the magic of a handmade piece without putting in the time and effort it takes to make your own, try finding a sweater with large and loose cable knits or patches of colorblocking to recreate a one-of-a-kind design. The long tonal shaded cardigan from Catherine’s is a sublime example of how a modern, manufactured sweater can be made to look like a handmade, original piece.

Available in charcoal and khaki, these tri-colored cardigans features a deep v-neckline with wide ribbing at every edge. Both the double button and loop closure and the lose leaf drape of the sweater give the fashion an extra relaxed sensibility. At $52.00 – 62.00, the 36 inch long acrylic piece is a little pricey for a cardigan. But if you don’t have the time to knit one yourself, it’s a reasonable price to pay for a kitschy look.
