Materials & Construction

Materials & Construction

Every Knox Rose cardigan is made with carefully selected yarns that balance softness, durability, and easy care. Our Oversized Open-Front Cardigan uses a cozy acrylic blend that resists pilling and holds its shape through repeated washing. The Cable-Knit style features a cotton-acrylic blend for breathability and texture, while our Lightweight Duster relies on a viscose blend for fluid drape and a silky hand feel.

We pay close attention to construction details that extend the life of each piece. Reinforced shoulder seams prevent stretching, and double-stitched hems ensure the cardigan maintains its length and shape. Ribbed finishes at cuffs and waistbands add structure without bulk, so your Knox Rose sweaters look polished season after season.


Sizing & Fit Guide

Sizing & Fit Guide

Our cardigan styles are designed with real bodies in mind. The Oversized Open-Front Cardigan runs generously—most customers find their true size gives a relaxed, drapey fit, while sizing down creates a more tailored look. The back length measures approximately 70 cm from shoulder to hem, providing coverage that hits mid-thigh on most body types.

Fit Variations

The Cable-Knit Cardigan offers a slightly fitted silhouette that follows the natural waist without clinging. We recommend your usual size for a classic fit. The Lightweight Duster Cardigan is cut for maximum flow and works beautifully across a range of sizes—choose your standard size for an easy, breezy drape.

Styling & Versatility

Styling & Versatility

A Knox Rose cardigan is the ultimate layering piece for building effortless outfits. Wear the Oversized Open-Front style over a fitted tee and straight-leg jeans for a balanced silhouette, or layer it over a flowy midi dress for a boho-chic look. The neutral colorways we offer—oatmeal, charcoal, dusty rose, and olive—coordinate with virtually any wardrobe.

The Cable-Knit Cardigan shines in cooler months. Button it up and tuck the front into high-waisted trousers for a polished, vintage-inspired ensemble, or leave it open over a striped tee and denim for weekend ease. Our Lightweight Duster Cardigan is perfect for transitional weather—throw it over a tank and shorts in spring, or layer it under a heavier coat when temperatures drop. Each style works as a standalone piece or as part of a capsule wardrobe anchored by Knox Rose basics.

Perfect everyday cardigan
I ordered the oversized open-front style in oatmeal and I'm so impressed. The fabric is soft but not flimsy, and the length is just right—hits me mid-thigh. I've washed it twice already and it still looks brand new. Definitely ordering another color.

Love the cable-knit detail
The cable-knit cardigan is beautiful in person. The texture adds so much interest, and the fit is flattering without being tight. I wear it buttoned up as a sweater or open over tees. Great quality for the price.

Lightweight and flowy
I needed a cardigan for spring and summer, and the duster style is perfect. It's thin enough that I don't overheat, but it still gives me that extra layer I like. The side slits make it easy to move around, and it doesn't wrinkle easily.

Great layering piece
I bought the oversized cardigan for layering over dresses, and it does exactly what I needed. The pockets are deep enough for my phone and keys. Only wish it came in a few more color options, but the charcoal is versatile.

Soft and cozy
This is hands down the softest cardigan I own. I wear it around the house constantly, but it looks polished enough to wear out too. The ribbed cuffs keep the sleeves in place, which I appreciate. Highly recommend.

True to size and comfortable
I was worried about sizing, but I ordered my usual medium and it fits perfectly. The open-front design is so easy—no buttons to fuss with. I've gotten so many compliments on this cardigan. Worth every penny.
