- Cotton blend — lightweight, breathable and easy-care for year-round layering.
- Open front — draped, unfastened silhouette that layers effortlessly over any outfit.
- Boho aesthetic — the open knit and longline cut give this a relaxed, artisan quality suited to casual and boho dressing.
Fabric & Care

FAQs
Is an open knit cardigan warm enough for autumn?
The open knit texture is more suitable for mild autumn days and spring than deep winter. For cooler days, layer it over a heavier knit or under a coat. In summer evenings it provides just enough warmth for a comfortable layer.
Will the open knit snag on jewellery or clothing?
Open knit fabrics can be more susceptible to snagging than a tight weave. Take care with chunky jewellery, rough fabrics or sharp objects that could catch in the open stitches. Store laid flat or folded rather than hung to prevent stretching.
Is this cardigan true to UK sizing?
This is designed as a relaxed, loose-layering fit — it runs slightly larger than standard sizing to allow for layering underneath. Check the size guide below and size as you normally would.
What is canton green?
Canton green is a muted, slightly dusty sage-to-teal green — not bright or vivid, but a sophisticated tonal green that has appeared consistently across UK and European fashion in 2026. It works with almost all other colours.
Does this cardigan stretch over time?
Open knit fabrics can stretch slightly with wear, particularly if hung for storage. Lay flat to dry and store folded to help the cardigan maintain its shape and length.
