Steel knit is the name used for a very fine, tightly knitted fabric with small stitches. Its surface is smooth and its weight light, so the cardigan looks neat and adds little bulk when layered over other pieces.

Which length should you choose?

Long cardigans cover the hips and fall nicely over maxi skirts and wide-leg trousers, which makes them a natural choice for modest outfits. Shorter styles look practical over maxi dresses and tunics.

How do you style a fine-knit cardigan?

Neutral shades such as beige, grey and navy go with almost any hijab. On colder days, wear it as an extra layer under your coat. Find more options in our knitted cardigan category.
