Lisette | Zip-Front Knit Cardigan with an Openwork Pattern

An openwork knit does something quiet and lovely: it gives an outfit texture without giving it weight. This cardigan runs that pattern across the body and finishes it with ribbing at the collar, cuffs and hem so the shape stays neat. Zip it up against a draught, or wear it open over a shirt while the kettle boils.

Why You'll Love It

✓ A Zip Instead of a Row of Buttons — one smooth pull closes the whole front, which is far kinder to cold fingers first thing.

✓ Openwork Texture Across the Body — the pattern gives plain trousers and a simple top something to sit against.

✓ Ribbed Edges That Stay Put — collar, cuffs and hem hold their shape rather than stretching out over the course of the day.

✓ A Layer for Indoors and Out — light enough to keep on in a warm room, substantial enough for a chilly hallway or a short walk.

✓ Colours That Suit What You Own — deep and soft tones alike, so it can be the quiet piece or the one that adds a little colour.

✓ Nothing Clings Through the Middle — the cut falls straight from the shoulder and skims rather than holding close.

It is the cardigan that leaves the wardrobe most weeks and rarely makes it back onto the hanger.

Fit: Relaxed zip-front cardigan with ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, falling straight from the shoulder.

Ideal for: Cooler mornings, indoor gatherings and everyday layering through autumn.
