Kite AJOUR SEA cardigan – a cotton cardigan with such a lovely, nostalgic cable knit pattern
Oh, this is the kind of cardigan that immediately makes you happy. The Kite AJOUR in the color SEA has exactly that wonderful "old-fashioned charm, but still completely contemporary" feel. A beautiful cable-knit cardigan with coconut buttons, a round neckline, and a deep sea-green color that combines so beautifully with denim, blue, ecru, brown, and autumnal nature tones.
And the best part? This cardigan isn't made of wool, but a soft blend of organic cotton and LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose. So you get that cozy knit feel, but without the itch. It's ideal if you’re sensitive to wool but still want to wear a warm, beautiful cardigan.
Why you’ll want this cardigan
The AJOUR is crafted in a chunky cable knit: a slightly thicker knit with a beautiful texture. This keeps the cardigan from being boring, even though it’s a solid color. The cables provide depth, the ribbed trims give it a nicely finished look, and the coconut buttons add that natural detail we love so much.
This is the kind of cardigan you can easily wear over a blouse, dress, long-sleeve, or T-shirt. It's perfect for chilly days in the shop, at the office, at home on the couch, or as an extra layer under your coat. And thanks to its short, straight fit, it also looks great with high-waisted jeans or a skirt.
Fit & styling
The Kite AJOUR has a comfortable fit and is relatively short. This makes it look lovely with higher-waisted trousers, but it also pairs beautifully over a dress because it doesn’t completely hide your silhouette.
Wear it buttoned up as a top with jeans, or open over a blouse for a softer layered look. The color SEA is a beautiful, calm blue-green shade. Not bright, not harsh, but definitely distinctive. It looks great with dark denim, natural tones, sand, chocolate brown, burgundy, and cream.
Also convenient: because this cardigan is made of cotton and ECOVERO™, you can wear it early in the season. Warm enough for crisp autumn days, but not as warm as a wool cardigan.
Material & washing instructions
The AJOUR is made of 80% organic cotton and 20% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose. Organic cotton feels soft, breathes well, and is gentle on the skin. ECOVERO™ viscose gives the knit a bit of extra suppleness.
Wash the cardigan inside out on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees. Use a small amount of detergent and don't overfill the washing machine so the knit doesn't suffer from unnecessary friction. Do not tumble dry, as a knitted cotton cardigan usually doesn't fare well in the dryer.
Lay the cardigan flat to dry and preferably store it folded in your closet. Don't leave knitted cardigans on a hanger for long periods, as they can stretch out. Gently pull it back into shape after washing and let it dry naturally.
