To make sure the fit will be right for you, I recommend that you compare actual measurements from your favourite sweater to the measurements I’ve given for this garment in the table below.
You are welcome to get in touch with me for advice. I’m always happy to help.
NB The measurements in the table are actual garment measurements.
The table shows actual garment measurements for my kimono style cardigan jacket.
More about my kimono style cardigan jackets…
The boxy shape of these cardigan jackets suits a variety of body shapes. You can pull it on and off over your head or undo it like a cardigan, and you can tie it higher or lower to suit your shape or preference. My choice is to get the ties in the right place for my body shape and height, and from then on I put it on and off over my head like a jumper.
Knitted in 65% cotton and 35% acrylic.
They are fully washable and easy to look after. No need to dry clean. See garment care for details.

Knitted clothes and accessories are probably the perfect example of ‘slow fashion’. I believe that we should choose the clothing we buy carefully, select items which will last, ideally keep them for years, and know how to look after each piece.
And because I knit only very small quantities of each piece, wastage is reduced, and production is more sustainable. Nothing is made in the far east, everything is handmade in Britain, slowly and carefully, and made to last.
I’m delighted to say that some of my customers are still wearing knits they bought from me 20 years ago.

Delivery/shipping to UK mainland is currently free for full price items. If your item is in stock I usually dispatch in 2-3 days of receiving your order. Delivery within the UK usually takes 3-5 days from dispatch. Worldwide delivery takes longer than delivery within the UK. You can find more detailed information on my shipping/delivery/returns page.
Destinations outside the UK add the cost of shipping at checkout. For some destinations customs duties and other tariffs may be added before or after delivery. This is not under my control and these costs cannot be refunded under any circumstances. You can find details on all of the above on my delivery/shipping/returns page.

These cardigans are knit in 65% cotton 35% acrylic.
-
These cardigans fit a range of sizes from small (approx UK 10) to large (approx UK 18). Please see the actual garment measurements in the table.
One person’s ‘nice loose fit’ will be someone else’s ‘too large’ and the fit will also depend on what you choose to wear underneath the garment.
Because a ‘good fit’ is such a personal decision I give actual garment measurements in the table so you can make a comparison with your favourite jumper or sweater.
The boxy shape of these cardigan jackets suits a variety of body shapes, and you can place the ties which fasten it higher or lower to suit your shape and preference.

I recommend that you hand wash in tepid water (not hot) using a gentle non-biological washing powder/cleanser. Rinse thoroughly.
As an alternative to hand washing, if your washing machine has a reliable delicate/gentle programme you can use this to wash your cardigan at a low temperature using a gentle non-biological cleanser. Pop it in a laundry bag or pillow slip if you are washing it with other items so nothing can catch on it to damage it.
To dry your cardigan you can spin it on a slower speed and/or roll or squeeze it gently in a towel to remove most of the water.
Lay it flat (eg on a towel) to dry fully. If needed you can gently ease it into shape and size while it’s still damp. And also if needed you can pat the edges into shape.
