Teal Cable Knit Cardigan with Wooden Buttons and Pockets | French Blue / S 100100575101614

How to measure this cardigan

Measure the garment laid flat on a smooth surface. Keep the buttons fastened and smooth out wrinkles (do not stretch).

1. Chest / Bust (pit to pit): Measure straight across the front from one underarm seam to the other. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
   Example: 20 in (51 cm) flat → 40 in (102 cm) circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from seam to seam across the back at the top of the shoulders. (If there is no defined shoulder seam, measure from the point where the sleeve meets the body on one side to the same point on the other side.)
3. Sleeve length: For set-in sleeves: measure from the shoulder seam down to the end of the cuff. For raglan or seamless shoulders: measure from the center back neck point to the cuff, then subtract the center-back-to-shoulder length if you want the “shoulder-to-cuff” value.
4. Back length / Overall length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (base of the neck) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width (bottom): Measure across the bottom edge from one side to the other; double that for the hem circumference.
6. Pocket measurements: Measure pocket opening width across the top and pocket depth from the top edge to the bottom inside point.
7. Button spacing: Measure from the center of one button to the center of the adjacent button to show spacing and closure fit.

Quick tips:

• Always record measurements in both cm and inches if possible.
• When comparing to body measurements, remember to add wearing ease (see sizing guidance below).
• If you have a similar cardigan that fits well, measure that garment and compare to these values.

Suggested wearing ease

• Fitted: 0–2 cm (0–1 in) ease
• Regular: 5–8 cm (2–3 in) ease
• Relaxed/oversized: 10–15 cm (4–6 in) ease

Materials & construction

Composition (typical for a soft cable-knit cardigan):

• Main fabric: Cable knit yarn blend — commonly a soft mix such as 60% acrylic, 30% wool, 10% nylon. This delivers warmth, softness, colorfastness and shape retention.
• Buttons: Natural wooden buttons, sealed/finished for durability and moisture resistance.
• Pockets and trims: Same knitted fabric as the body (patch pockets), reinforced at stress points.
• Lining: Typically unlined — breathable knit against the body.

Notes: exact fiber percentages may vary by batch or supplier — always check the product label for the definitive composition and care symbols.

• Model measurements: Bust 82 cm (32"), Waist 61 cm (24"), Hips 89 cm (35")

• Fit shown: Relaxed — the cardigan is styled slightly oversized for layering. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down; for roomier layering, choose your usual size or size up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow the garment care label whenever provided. General care recommendations for a knit wool-blend cardigan:

Washing

• Hand wash cold with a mild detergent, gently squeeze — do not wring.
• Or: machine wash cold on a gentle/wool cycle inside out, placed in a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction.
• Avoid bleach and harsh detergents; use a wool-safe or delicate detergent if possible.

Drying & drying shape

• Lay flat to dry on a clean towel or drying rack, reshape while damp to restore the cable pattern and prevent stretching.
• Avoid tumble drying (can shrink or damage fibers and wooden buttons).

Ironing, steaming & pilling

• Use a low-temperature iron if needed with a pressing cloth, or prefer steaming to relax fibers and remove wrinkles.
• Pilling is normal on knitwear; remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or sweater comb.

Wooden button care

• Wipe wooden buttons with a damp cloth; avoid prolonged soaking. If buttons appear dry, a small amount of natural oil can be applied, then wiped off.

Storage

• Fold knits rather than hanging to avoid shoulder distortion.
• Store in a cool, dry place; use breathable cotton storage bags or cedar sachets to deter moths.

Quick checklist

• Hand wash or gentle cycle, cold water
• Use mild detergent
• Dry flat, reshape while damp
• Fold for storage; protect wooden buttons

Style tips

Teal is a versatile, flattering color — here are ways to wear the cardigan:

• Casual weekend: Layer over a white tee or striped long sleeve, pair with light or dark denim and white sneakers.
• Work-ready: Wear over a crisp button-down shirt with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt; add loafers or low-heel boots.
• Weekend brunch / transitional weather: Throw on over a slip dress or midi skirt; add ankle boots and a crossbody bag.
• Belted: Add a slim leather belt at the waist to create shape and make the cardigan look more polished.
• Layering: For colder days, wear a thin turtleneck underneath and finish with a wool coat on top.
• Color pairing: Works beautifully with neutrals (cream, beige, gray, black), contrast with rust or warm browns, or go tonal with navy and forest green.
• Accessories: Warm metals like gold or brass complement teal — try layered necklaces or hoop earrings. Add a scarf in a complementary print for extra texture.

Outfit idea: Teal cardigan + white button-up + high-waisted straight jeans + tan ankle boots + delicate gold necklace = effortless, put-together look.
