Is the Elka cardigan warm enough for winter?

No. The pointelle knit is open and lightweight, so it works as a mild-weather layer rather than a winter outer layer.

Does it run true to size?

It has a regular fit and buyers report it runs true to size. Size up if you want a looser, oversized layer.

It is 100% cotton yarn, with no wool or synthetic blend.

Can I wear it on its own?

The open pointelle knit is semi-sheer, so wear a camisole or top underneath.

How should I care for it?

Cotton pointelle holds shape best when washed gently and dried flat. Fold it rather than hanging it to avoid stretching.

What sizes are available?

It comes in XXS, L, M, XL and XXL in women's sizing.

Where is the Sportscraft Elka Pointelle Knit Cardigan cheapest?

Our take on the Sportscraft Elka Pointelle Knit Cardigan

The Sportscraft Elka is a women's button-front cardigan in 100% cotton with an allover pointelle knit that gives it an open, textured look. It has a round neck, long sleeves and a regular fit, and comes in sizes XXS to XXL. It suits shoppers who want a lightweight, breathable layer for spring and autumn or cool summer evenings. Against plain cotton cardigans it stands out on texture rather than warmth, and the open knit means it is a layering piece, not a standalone top.
