Ernestine Cardigan Cream – Hand‑Knitted Mercerized Cotton

Hand‑knitted and embroidered entirely by hand over 50+ hours and produced in small batches, the ERNESTINE cardigan carries the subtle mark of the artisan who made it.

In Cream, the Ernestine is a delicate expression of Alpine craftsmanship, hand‑knitted in mercerized cotton and adorned with playful, intricate embroidery. Its silhouette is softly structured: a refined, fitted body contrasted by a richly textured yoke. Across the shoulders, hand‑embroidered cherry motifs unfold in rhythmic rows, framed by subtle bobble textures that add depth and dimension.

A contrasting hand‑crocheted red trim completes the piece, bringing together purity, ornament, and timeless craft—designed to be worn, kept, and passed on.

Craftsmanship

The Ernestine cardigan is entirely hand‑knitted using time‑intensive techniques that require skilled manual work. The upper yoke is shaped with textured bobble knitting, adding relief and sculptural structure. Each cherry motif is individually hand‑embroidered, giving the piece a lively, three‑dimensional quality.

The neckline and closure are finished with a hand‑crocheted scalloped red trim—precise, delicate, and unmistakably artisanal.

Produced in small batches, no two Ernestine cardigans are completely identical. Each reflects time, care, and the individuality of the maker.
