Women's Cable Knit Zip Cardigan
The knit
Thick cables, soft hand
Deep cable panels give the front real texture, so this cardigan looks richer than a plain knit and keeps its shape through a long day.
The soft, warm yarn has a touch of cashmere-feel softness against the skin, and the ribbed cuffs and hem hold close without digging in.
Run your hand over the front and you can feel the depth of the cables; this is the kind of texture that makes a plain white tee and jeans look like an outfit.
The zip
Zip it up or wear it open
A full front zip and a stand collar mean you can close it right up over a vest top or let it hang open over a shirt.
The cropped length stops at the waist, which balances wide trousers and long skirts and keeps your outline neat instead of boxy.
Because it is cropped, it pairs best with high-waisted trousers and skirts; over a long top it gives a relaxed, layered look that still feels tidy.
How to wear it
Four easy colours
Grey and white are calm everyday shades with denim; black is sharp with tailored trousers; red brings a bright note to a neutral outfit.
Wear it with jeans and loafers for the weekend, or over a slip dress when the evening turns cool. Free UK delivery.
Keep it looking new by washing it inside out on a cool wool cycle and drying it flat; never hang a wet knit, as the weight pulls it out of shape.
From Maria & Denis
This cable knit zip cardigan is the short, neat knit you can zip up on a cold morning and leave open by lunchtime.
Chunky cables run from the stand collar to the ribbed hem, and the cropped length sits just at the waist, so it looks tidy with high-waisted jeans, wide-leg trousers or a midi skirt.
We picked this knit because it does two jobs: it is warm enough for a chilly walk and neat enough for the office, and the zip means you can change your mind as the day warms up.
Grey, white, black or red, in sizes S to XL.

Fabric & care
Soft, warm cable knit.
Hand wash cold or use the wool cycle at 30°C, dry flat and do not tumble dry.
Wool is naturally odour-resistant, so it rarely needs washing: air it on a hanger overnight and it freshens up on its own.
When you do wash it, use a wool detergent in cool water, never wring it, roll it in a towel to press out the water and dry it flat away from radiators.
Store it folded, not hung, with a cedar block or lavender bag to keep moths away.

Lovely knit
Really thick cables, looks much nicer in person. Wearing it most days.
Warm
Zip it up on the walk to work and open it in the office. Perfect.
Short but nice
It is cropped, I knew that, just a bit shorter on me than I pictured. Wear it with high waist jeans and it works.
No bobbling
Washed it twice on the wool cycle and no bobbles yet.
Love the red
Got the red one, lovely colour for winter 😊
Good
Soft, warm, zip is smooth.
