Argyle Cable Knit Cardigan
-
Lapel collar, jacket structure -
Stretch knit, tailored fit -
Four colours, sizes S to XXL
The pattern is knitted, not printed
Run your hand across it and you can feel the diamonds. The argyle and the cable ribs are worked into the knit itself, which is why it catches light like real knitwear instead of reading flat in photos. The gold tone buttons are polished metal, not painted plastic.
A peplum hem that does the work
The waist is cut high and the hem flares out from it, so the shape does the cinching for you without a belt. It skims straight over the midsection instead of sitting on it, which is the difference between a knit jacket that flatters and one that just adds a layer.
Office in the morning, dinner after
Buttoned over tailored trousers it passes for a blazer. Left open over denim it goes straight back to being a cardigan. Khaki, Black, Beige and Pink, in S through XXL, so you can pick the one that matches the half of your wardrobe you actually wear.
About This Pair
On its own it handles spring and fall comfortably. In winter it works best as a middle layer under a coat, since the knit is dense but not lined. Buttoned up over a blouse it holds heat noticeably better than an open cardigan.
Yes, with a tailored cut through the bust and waist and a little elastane for give. Take your usual size. If you plan to wear a blouse or a shirt underneath, take the next size up so the buttons close cleanly. Compare against the Size Chart panel above before ordering.
The yarn is an anti pilling blend, so it resists the fuzzing you get on cheap acrylic. Wash it inside a mesh bag on a gentle cold cycle and lay it flat to dry, and the surface stays crisp. Avoid the tumble dryer, which is what usually ruins a textured knit.
