Morphology
The meaning 'a warm, cozy sweater' is directly derived from combining 'toasty' (warm, cozy) with 'sweater' (a warm knitted garment). This simple adjective+noun compositional pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Toasty sweater comes from the picture of someone wrapped in a sweater and feeling as warm as toast near a fire. That's why toasty sweater means 'a sweater that is warm and cozy'.
