Amy Chistoffers designed both a cropped top-down cardigan and a pullover with an eyelet motif incorporated into the raglan increases. These sweaters are designed to be the perfect layer over tunics and dresses. Looks great with jeans as well. Either of these will be a very easy and very quick knit with worsted weight yarn worked at a relaxed open gauge.

Felix Cardigan by Amy Christoffers is knit flat from the top down, with short row shaping at the neck. The sleeves are knit in the round.

Felix Pullover is knit in the round from the top down in the round with eyelet increases. The body and sleeves are separated at the underarm and worked down in the round.
