Dries Van Noten knitwear is the best value in the range and the easiest way into the house’s textile idea: a fair-isle style jacquard in wool and viscose at $830, a pure merino sweater at $800, a cropped cashmere cardigan at $1,650. The gauges are fine, the fits regular, and the colour work is done in the knit itself, striped, jacquard, bi-coloured braids, embroidered yokes. Coveti carries 18 styles, 6 of them cardigans, plus two heavyweight cotton hoodies. This page lists the yarn and the fit for every one.

The jacquard knits

The Jacquard wool sweater in Light Red, a tight sleeveless fair-isle style sweater in wool and viscose, is the entry piece and comes in four colourways. The Striped wool polo in Navy in striped merino jacquard, the jacquard wool tops with bi-coloured braids, the printed wool sweater with the Glass Kaleidoscope motif and the Zipped wool cardigan in Champagne with its bi-coloured turtleneck are the rest of the colour-work family.

The plain merino

The Merino sweater in Black, short-sleeved in fine merino, the crew necks with ajouré stitch, the V-necks and the boxy V-neck sweater are the plain pieces the printed wardrobe needs. All are regular fit on letter sizes.

The cardigans

The Cropped cashmere cardigan in Dark Brown, cropped in pure cashmere with a contrast placket, comes in three shades and is the knit to wear over the printed dresses. The Patchwork wool cardigan in Ecru is the long one, loose fit in a wool alpaca blend with patchwork, and the alpaca polo cardigan, the textured wool and cashmere turtleneck cardigan and the cropped merino with a back strap are the others.

Fit and care

Regular fit runs true on letters; the boxy sweater and the long cardigan are loose by design. The house says to store knitwear folded so it keeps its shape, and to dry clean only when necessary; cool hand washing and flat drying suits the merino and the cashmere.
