Cara Brown Cable Aran Knit Wool Cardigan
Description
A Masterclass in Heritage & Sartorial Warmth
Wrap yourself in the unparalleled comfort and storied history of the Cara Brown Cable Aran Knit Wool Cardigan. Named "Cara," the Irish word for friend, this garment is designed to be a loyal, luxurious companion for the colder seasons. Spun from premium wool blend in a rich, deep chocolate brown hue, this chunky knit cardigan reimagines the traditional Irish Aran sweater through the lens of modern Haute Couture. It features a sweeping shawl collar, dropped shoulders, and a masterfully textured landscape of classic cable stitches—each intertwining motif a nod to Ireland's rich coastal heritage. Finished with tortoiseshell-style buttons and practical front patch pockets, it is the ultimate expression of elevated, cozy sophistication.
The Artisan Story
At CRÓISE, we are devoted to preserving the soul of Irish craftsmanship while elevating it to international luxury standards. The Cara cardigan is not simply manufactured; it is sculpted. Our highly skilled artisans spend hours meticulously forming the three-dimensional cable knits, ensuring perfect tension and impeccable structure. By honouring the virtuous, centuries-old techniques of Aran knitting and utilizing only the finest natural wool, we create more than just outerwear—we create wearable art with a soul, designed to last a lifetime.

In order to select the correct clothing size, we recommend you take the following measurements using a soft tape measure. The tape measure should sit snugly against your body, but should not be pulled too tight. If necessary, ask someone else to help.
Our tip: If you do not have a measuring tape, use standard tape and then measure the tape against a ruler.
Bust
Wearing a bra, pass the tape measure straight across your back, under your arms and over the fullest point of your bust. Outline the bust (breast area) with a tape measure. Breathing normally, notice the variations while breathing and consider the highest number. Make sure to keep a straight horizontal line.
Waist
Pass the tape measure around your natural waistline, at the narrowest point of your waist. In front of a mirror with the waist clearly visible, slightly tilting the torso to the side, visualize the formation of a crease (this indicates the position of the natural waist). Measure the waist.
Hips
Keeping your legs together, measure around the widest part of the hips. Outline with the tape measure the wider region below the waist, running parallel to the highest part of the glutes.
