Karen | Knit Cardigan

KAREN

The Karen is a soft, warm knit cardigan cut to sit comfortably without clinging. It is the sort of thing you put on over a plain top on an ordinary morning and then find you keep on all day, at home, in the garden or over coffee with a friend.

WHY WOMEN LOVE THE KAREN

• Soft from the first wearing. Not a knit that needs three months before it stops itching. It is going on at eight in the morning and coming off at ten at night, so it has to be kind against the skin all day.
  
  
• Real weight in the knit. Enough that it holds its shape instead of dropping at the shoulders by November, which is what turns a lovely cardigan into an old one in about six weeks.
  
  
• Layers without bulk. Light enough to keep on indoors and to go under a coat without adding thickness at the shoulder.
  
  
• Room through the shoulder. Cut with give across the back and the upper arm, so you can reach a top shelf or carry the shopping without it dragging.
  
  
• Cuffs that hold their shape. Ribbed at the wrist and the hem, so it still looks like itself in February rather than stretched out and slack.
  
  
• A length that flatters. It finishes over the hip rather than cutting straight across the widest part of you.
  
  
• Goes on without thinking. No buttons to fasten and no fuss. It is the layer you reach for on an ordinary morning, which is when it counts most.

YOUR EVERYDAY CARDIGAN

Over jeans for the shops, over a shirt for a lunch, and under a coat when it turns properly cold. A wardrobe that has quietly turned entirely dark did not get that way by choice.
