Types of sweaters
Cardigan Sweaters

Cardigan Sweaters are made from cotton, wool, a


combination of synthetic and natural or cashmere material and have
zippers or buttons on the front. There are many types of cardigan
sweaters, such as chenille (finely spun yarn) cardigans, cardigans with
an emphasized stitch such as cable knit cardigans, and fleece (a soft
version of wool) cardigans. Cardigan sweaters may be traditional
length of down to the hip, but may also be made into long cardigans.
More adventurous fashion designers have created the tiny cardigan
with the 3 quarter sleeve.

Norwegian Sweaters
Norwegian sweaters are highly popular all over the world,
but especially trendy in cold-weather climates and mountainous
regions. Norwegian sweaters are notoriously thick, a style that
originated in the freezing climate of Norway, where the thick cable
knit style kept fishermen and hunters warm all year round. Often, the
wool in a Norwegian sweater comes in cream colors, browns, blacks,
navys and hunter greens. Some patterned Norwegian sweaters may
also include ribbing of a contrasting color, like white or red. It is these
elegant and intricate patterns that truly give the Norwegian sweater
it's signature look. Wool bands, and buttons or clasps made of metals
like pewter or silver are other authenticating features of a real
Norwegian sweater.

Irish Sweater
Irish sweater, also known as the Aran sweater, gets its names from the
Aran Islands, off the Western Coast of Ireland. The Aran sweater is
unique from other sweaters in their use of complex stitching patterns,
many of which have traditional cultural, and sometimes religious
significance. For example, the honeycomb stitch is a symbol of the
bee - a symbol of hard work and dedication. The cable-knit sweater is
symbolic for the cables fishermen use in their craft, and knitting a
cable knit sweater is a gesture of good luck and love for the fisherman
about to set off for months of grueling work and freezing days and
nights. In conjunction with the cable knit, the basket stitch is also for
the fisherman - a wish of good luck and a bountiful catch.

Aran Irish sweaters are typically made from undyed sheeps wool,
often naturally cream-colored, which to this day, still gives the
sweater it's unique and distinguishable look. Originally, Aran
sweaters were made with unwashed wool, which contained natural
oils that made the sweater water repellent - a wonderful feature for all
the Irish fishermen shipping off for work.

The characteristics of an Irish sweater, in addition to the heavy,


cream-colored wool, also include a uniquely symmetrical pattern of
stitching. A true Aran sweater will have patterns that are symmetrical
to the centre axis, running both down the front and back. In addition
to traditional pullover Aran sweaters, or cardigan Aran sweaters, this
same unique stitching pattern can be applied to hats, scarves, socks
and other garments, thus deeming them "Aran" as well.

Twinset Sweater

The twinset is comprised of the under-shell, usually a


tank-top, sleeveless or short-sleeved sweater made of lightweight
cotton, cashmere or other light fabric. The outer layer of the twinset is
a cardigan, often made of the same lightweight cotton wool ,
cashmere or another light fabric. Variations of the twinset can include
a heavier outer cardigan sweater or an outer layer that has a deep
scoop neck (thus displaying the undershell), instead of a cardigan.
However, almost always, the twinset is worn with the undershell
being a tighter, form-fitting garment, and the cardigan or outer shell
being worn open to display the set. The twinset is most popular with
both layers being the same color and style, but popular variations of
the sweater twinset include opposing but complimentary colors, one
layer being patterned while the other remains solid, and a highly
ornate undershell with a plain cardigan (or vice versa).

Cap sleeve Swaters


Capsleeve sweaters are a flirty and fun twist on the classic
sweater. Exposing the arms puts a spin on the traditional garment that
exudes a hint of sexiness, while maintaining a conservative sense of
modesty. Perhaps best of all, capsleeve or short-sleeved sweaters can
be worn in all seasons.

Capsleeve sweaters can come in any fabric or knit, but are


most often seen in breathable, lightweight fabrics and small knits.
Cotton, mohair, cashmere and light wools are the most common
fabrics for capsleeve sweaters. The heavier more dense fabrics that
sweaters are typically made of are reserved for warmer sweaters. As
the capsleeve is more a fashion statement than a practical garment
meant to keep you warm, choose your capsleeve sweater based on the
comfort and style.

Off-the-Shoulder
Exposing a little skin is the fastest way to give a edgier vibe to a
traditional garment. This is exactly the appeal of the off-the-shoulder
sweater. Off-the-shoulder sweaters, like most other varieties of
sweaters, come in all different colors, patterns, styles and fabrics. Off-
the-shoulder sweaters are currently very popular in a looser-fitting
bohemian style with a wide neck and even wider arms. Off-the-
shoulder sweaters can be worn exposing one sweater (the wide neck
hanging loosely off one shoulder), or exposing both shoulders
(usually a tighter-fitting sweater, with the neck being particularly tight
to fit securely on the outsides of the shoulders).

Sweater Vest
The sweater vest is also known as the sleeveless sweater, the "tank
top", and the Langdon in different parts of the world. However, the
premise of this garment is all the same. For men, the sweater is
usually a dressier garment, worn over a button down shirt or with a
dressy shirt and tie. For women, the sweater vest is coming back in
style over the button down as well. Women are wearing sweater vests
to work for an extra layer of warmth, or for a different look than the
traditional blouse and slacks. For the especially daring women, the
sweater vest can also be worn like a tank top, either alone, or with
another basic sleeveless shell underneath.

Accessories used in Sweaters


Mostly in cardigan types of sweaters buttons which are big
in size is used. The length of the button 2cm and thickness will be of
0.5cm (approx.). In Norwegian sweaters zippers are used as per the
requirement.
