Seasonal knitwear usually crosses the line from charming into costume!

Just imagine a harvest-themed cardigan where the motifs are small, the colours are muted and the whole thing still looks like a good piece of knitwear. Now stop imagining, because the Cynthia keeps its pumpkins and leaves quiet and its palette entirely natural.

• Small, Scattered Motifs
  Pumpkins, wheat and leaves are worked small and spaced widely across a cream ground. There is plenty of plain knit between them. That restraint is the difference between charming and costume.
• Muted Autumn Palette
  Everything sits in soft rust, sage and warm brown rather than bright orange. The colours belong to the season without shouting about it. It works with denim, cream and every brown you own.
• Contrast Ribbed Trim
  A deep brown rib frames the neckline, the placket, the cuffs and the hem. That dark border grounds the print and keeps the front tidy. It also makes the cream look cleaner.
• Plaid Sleeve Panels
  The sleeves carry a soft check that plays against the scattered motifs on the body. Mixing the two reads as considered rather than busy. It gives the piece real depth.
• Sizes S To 5XL
  The fit stays relaxed across the whole range, from S right through to 5XL. The motif spacing scales with it rather than crowding. Everyone gets the same easy shape.

There is a version of seasonal dressing that is subtle, and this is it. The Cynthia keeps its motifs small, its colours natural and its trim deep, so it looks like knitwear first and a harvest cardigan second — and it comes back out every year.
