Description

The short description is "a <style> <colour> cardigan". The long description varies based on the style.

Close-fitting:

Not a scrap of yarn has been wasted in the construction of this cardigan, which clings to the body like a warm and loving hug.  Made from laceweight silk yarn arranged in rainbow-coloured stripes and fastened with tiny white star-shaped buttons, it is ideal both for layering in the winter and as an outer garment in more clement weather.

Elegant:

The clean lines and perfectly even stitches of this smoothly-knitted cardigan reveal the extreme care that has gone into its construction.  Made from laceweight angora wool arranged in rainbow-coloured stripes and fastened with tiny white star-shaped buttons, it would fit in perfectly at even the most elegant soiree.

Fluffy:

The yarn used to knit this cardigan seems to have been spun more loosely than normal, producing a fluffy effect that looks very cosy indeed.  So fluffy, in fact, that the stitch pattern has been entirely obscured among the thick white mohair yarn.  Tiny white filigree buttons peek out from the depths of the fluff.

Baggy:

This cardigan certainly leaves plenty of room to manoeuvre.  The sleeves billow, the neckline gapes, and the body itself seems large enough for at least two people.  However, the competence of the knitting makes it clear that all of this was entirely on purpose.  Made from white aran weight silk yarn and fastened with tiny white star-shaped buttons, this cardigan is perfect for those who like to feel thoroughly enveloped in their clothes.

Simple:

The simple construction of this cardigan is an absolute model of practicality.  Knitted from white laceweight silk yarn and fastened with tiny white filigree buttons, it does the job without any ostentation or fuss.

Cabled:

Made from thin white silk yarn, this cardigan clearly took quite some effort to knit.  Braided cables run along the arms, while the front and back feature a criss-crossed basketweave pattern.  A column of tiny white filigree buttons completes the look.

Lacy:

Knitted in a classic herringbone lace stitch, this cardigan features long, narrow columns of ribbing alternating with offset open eyelets.  Made from white laceweight silk yarn, it clearly required quite some skill to construct.  A neat column of tiny white filigree buttons runs down the centre of the front.
