Cable-Knit Round Neck Button Up Cardigan | Gray / S 100100074279921

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure. For accurate sizing you can measure the garment laid flat or measure your body and compare to the garment measurements. Record measurements in cm or inches (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Measuring the garment (laid flat)

1. Prepare: Button up the cardigan, lay it flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles—do not stretch the fabric.
2. Chest / Bust (flat): Measure across the front 2.5 cm (1") below the armholes from one side seam to the other. Multiply this number by 2 for the full circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from seam to seam across the back at the top of the shoulders.
4. Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For raglan styles, measure from the center back of the neck to the cuff for overall sleeve length.
5. Upper arm / bicep: Measure across the sleeve 5 cm (2") below the armhole; multiply by 2 for circumference.
6. Front / Back length: From the high point of shoulder (next to the neckline) or center back at the base of the collar down to the hem.
7. Hem width: Measure across the bottom edge from side seam to side seam; multiply by 2 for full circumference.

Measuring your body

1. Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest while standing relaxed, wearing the bra you will use with the cardigan.
2. Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
4. Upper arm: Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm.

How to choose your size

Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements (flat measurement × 2). Allow for ease depending on the look you want:

• Fitted: 0–4 cm (0–1.5") positive ease
• Relaxed: 5–10 cm (2–4") positive ease
• Oversized: 10–20 cm (4–8") positive ease

Example: If your bust is 92 cm and the cardigan flat chest is 50 cm → 50 × 2 = 100 cm, ease = 8 cm → relaxed fit.

Materials & features

Construction: Cable-knit body with a round (crew) neckline and button-front closure. Ribbed cuffs and hem. Midweight knit suitable for layering.

Common fiber options and what to expect:

• 100% Cotton: Soft, breathable and easy-care; may shrink slightly with heat—wash cold.
• Cotton blends (cotton + acrylic/nylon): Better shape retention, easier care, reduced shrinkage.
• Acrylic: Lightweight and warm, resists moths, but can pill over time.
• Wool / Merino: Warm and insulating; may require gentle wash or dry clean to avoid felting.
• Cashmere / Alpaca blends: Luxuriously soft and warm; handle with extra care (hand wash or dry clean recommended).
• Synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon): Add durability and elasticity, reduce stretching and wrinkling.

Tip: Always check the product label for the exact fibre composition and any manufacturer-specific notes.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always check the care label first.
• Hand wash or gentle cycle: Use cold water and a mild detergent. If machine-washing, place the cardigan in a mesh bag and select the delicate cycle with a short spin.
• Do not wring: Gently press or roll in a towel to remove excess water.
• Dry flat: Reshape the cardigan and lay it flat on a towel or drying rack away from direct sunlight and heat. Hanging can stretch the shoulders.
• Avoid high heat: Do not tumble-dry unless the care label explicitly allows it; avoid hot irons—use a steamer or iron on low with a cloth barrier if needed.
• Remove pills carefully: Use a fabric shaver or pill comb on low setting and work gently across the surface.
• Storage: Fold knits and store in a dry, cool place. Use breathable storage and natural moth deterrents (cedar, lavender). Avoid hanging heavy knits long-term.
• Spot treatment: Treat stains promptly—dab gently with cold water and mild soap; avoid aggressive rubbing.
• Dry clean when recommended: For delicate fibers like cashmere or alpaca, or when in doubt, professional cleaning prolongs life and shape.

Fiber-specific quick tips:

• Wool / Merino: Hand wash cold with wool-safe detergent or dry clean; reshape while damp.
• Cashmere / Alpaca: Hand wash cold, roll in towel to remove water, dry flat; store folded with tissue.
• Cotton / Blends: Usually safe on a cold gentle cycle; tumble-dry on low only if label permits.

Style Tips

• Everyday casual: Wear open over a tee or tank with jeans and sneakers for an easy layered look.
• Smart casual: Button up halfway and tuck the front into high-waisted trousers or a midi skirt; add loafers or ankle boots.
• Belted: Add a slim leather belt at the waist to define shape when wearing over dresses or wide-leg pants.
• Office-ready: Layer over a blouse or shirt and pair with tailored slacks—choose neutral tones for a polished finish.
• With dresses: Throw it over a slip or shirt dress; long cardigans look great belted to create a waistline.
• Proportion play: Pair chunky or long cardigans with slim bottoms; cropped cardigans look great with high-waisted bottoms.
• Accessories: Add a scarf, long pendant, or brooch to elevate the knit—avoid bulky necklaces that can tangle in the cable texture.
• Color pairing: Neutrals (cream, beige, grey) pair well with denim and black; earth tones pair with brown and olive; bright colors work best balanced with neutrals.
