Handknitted Cardigan with Cherry Embroidery

The ERNESTINE cardigan in Cream is a delicate expression of craftsmanship, handknitted in mercerized cotton and adorned with playful, intricate embroidery.

Defined by its softly structured silhouette, the piece features 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 create depth and dimension.

The neckline and closure are finished with a contrasting hand-crocheted red trim, adding a graphic, almost folkloric touch to the otherwise soft and natural base. This interplay between purity and ornament gives ERNESTINE its distinctive charm.

Craftsmanship

The ERNESTINE cardigan is entirely handknitted using artisanal techniques rooted in Alpine tradition in 50hrs+.

The upper part is constructed with textured bobble knitting, creating relief and structure across the yoke. Each cherry motif is individually hand-embroidered, bringing a lively, three-dimensional quality to the piece.

The edges are finished with a hand-crocheted contrasting trim, requiring precision and time to achieve its delicate scalloped effect.

Each cardigan reflects hours of skilled manual work — no two pieces are ever completely identical.
