Delicia | Check Knit Cardigan Open Front

Checks line up. Front falls open. Go.

The check runs across a soft, spongy knit that holds its shape without feeling stiff. It falls open at the front with enough room through the body to go over a tee or a thin turtleneck. The drop shoulder keeps the arms easy rather than tight, and the hem sits just past the hip. Sizes run S through 3XL in a relaxed cut, so take your usual size unless you want it slouchier.

Check Pattern That Carries the Whole Outfit The retro check does the work for you, so plain jeans and a white tee read as considered. It looks like a cardigan you chose rather than one you grabbed.

Relaxed Fit That Layers Without Bulk There is room for a shirt underneath without the shoulders pulling. That makes it as useful over a work blouse as over a weekend sweatshirt.

Open Front That Lengthens the Line Worn undone, the two panels draw a long vertical through the body, much like a long cardigan does. The hem stays flat at the hip instead of flaring out.

Spongy Knit With Weight Behind It The yarn is knitted dense and slightly cushioned, so the check stays crisp and the panels hang straight rather than curling at the edge. Ribbing at the cuffs and hem holds the shape through repeated wear.

Wear it over a fine-knit turtleneck with straight denim and ankle boots, or belt it loosely over a midi skirt.
