Alexa Cardigan Kit

Why you'll love it

Knit the Alexa 689 cardigan, a timeless raglan style worked seamlessly from the top down. With its classic shape and easy fit, it’s a versatile knit that works across seasons and wardrobes. The top-down construction allows you to try it on as you go and customise the length with minimal finishing.

This version uses Bellissimo 8, a beautifully soft DK yarn made from 100% extra-fine Australian merino wool. It’s warm, smooth and easy to knit, with excellent stitch definition—perfect for creating a polished look in this everyday staple.

Choose your colour and cast on a cosy, classic cardigan that you’ll wear again and again.

We have lots of stock, but it's not all at our shop. We have shipments arriving every couple of days, so it might take a few days to ship it. Please be assured that we'll ship your order as quickly as we can. If you select Store Pick Up at checkout, please wait for our SMS to say your order is ready.
