- Is this cardigan warm enough for winter?
- No. The pointelle knit is deliberately open and breathable, so it works as a spring and fall layer. In cold weather you would wear it indoors or under a coat.
- How does the sizing run?
- It comes in XS through XXL. Organic cotton knits like this tend to relax with wear, so if you are between sizes, size down for a closer fit.
- What is pointelle?
- Pointelle is a knit with small eyelet holes arranged in patterns, here a diamond motif. It looks delicate and lets air through, which is why the sweater feels light.
- How should I wash it?
- Turn it inside out and wash cold on a gentle cycle, then lay it flat to dry. Machine drying can shrink cotton knit and distort the pointelle pattern.
- Does it have pockets?
- Yes, it has front pockets, which is unusual for a lightweight cardigan. They are small and best for hands or a phone, not heavy items.
- Is it true to the red and gold colors shown?
- The cardigan is a warm red with gold accents in the diamond pattern. Expect a slightly softer tone in person than on a bright screen.
