Ulla Johnson Louise Knit Cardigan in Alabaster
Louise Knit Cardigan in Alabaster
Ulla Johnson's Louise Cardigan pairs a wide, face-framing collar and full sleeves with a chunky half-cardigan stitch, knitted in a soft mouline yarn that twists cream and olive into a subtle marl. The stitch gives the rib a gentle, textured variation, ribbed cuffs gather the sleeves, and the button front lets it be worn closed as a sweater or open as a layer, giving it a relaxed, vintage-inspired character. Available online with shipping throughout Australia and internationally, and in-store at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney.
The wide collar frames the face, so it works best with pieces that let the knit lead. Buttoned up with the Clarisse Trumpet Midi Skirt in Chamomile, the cream marl softens the skirt's buttery yellow print for a relaxed, textural pairing. Layered open over the Valory Stretch Flare Jean in Noir, the clean black denim sets off the marl, and on cooler evenings it sits easily over a slip dress.
