Hey Skybabes,

You know that feeling when the air turns crisp, the candles come out, and your wardrobe starts calling for cosy layers again? Yep, we’re officially in cardigan season, and I couldn’t be happier. Our latest knitwear drop has landed, and it’s all about texture, comfort and confidence, and the star of the show? The Bernice Stripe Cross Stitch Cardigan in Lilac.

She’s bold. She’s slouchy. And she’s exactly what you need to make those chilly autumn mornings and festive winter nights a little brighter.

Meet Bernice – The Statement Cardigan That Does It All

The Bernice is what I like to call “instant mood lift” knitwear. With her bright stripes, soft chunky texture and slightly oversized fit, she’s one of those pieces that makes getting dressed feel exciting again.

I designed Bernice as a statement cardigan that gives you the freedom to dress up or down, depending on your day. Heading out for coffee? Style her over jeans and a tee for that effortless slouchy knitwear UK look. Off to a Halloween get-together? Throw her over a satin midi and boots for a winter layering outfit that’s just the right side of playful.

And as we edge closer to Christmas, the Bernice Cardigan also makes the perfect Christmas gift knitwear piece, thoughtful, timeless, and designed to make someone smile the second they unwrap it.

Style Notes for Skybabes

This season, I’m all about balance, bright colour meets relaxed shape. The Bernice Stripe Cross Stitch Cardigan works beautifully for autumn outfit ideas when you want to keep warm but still feel styled. Try pairing her with high-waisted denim, a soft roll-neck, and ankle boots for that cosy-but-chic moment.

If you’re after a bit more edge, wear her open over a printed dress, or button up the heart button cardigan detail for that sweet finishing touch. The silhouette is slightly oversized,  the kind of fit that feels like a hug, without losing shape or polish.

Your New Layering Hero

There’s something so satisfying about finding one piece that just works, day after day, outfit after outfit. The Bernice has that magic. She’s a chunky knit cardigan that transitions perfectly from autumn to winter, perfect for layering under coats or wearing solo when the weather’s still mild.

I love seeing how our Skybabes make her their own, some style her with sequins for a festive twist, others keep it pared-back and neutral. That’s the beauty of good design: it moves with your mood.

Made to Be Loved

Like every piece in the latest knitwear collection, Bernice was consciously made right here in the UK. She’s designed to last, to lift your wardrobe, and to carry you through many winters to come.

If you love colour, texture and a bit of personality in your wardrobe, the Bernice Stripe Cross Stitch Cardigan is your girl.
