Hi lovelies,

We’ve made it through Black Friday, Cyber Week is behind us, and now we step into my favourite season of all cosy knitwear season! December has arrived with all its sparkle, and I couldn’t be more excited to wrap up in my most joyful pieces. If you’re all about style that brings warmth, comfort, and colour, this month’s knitwear edit is for you.

Between Christmas parties, winter getaways, New Year celebrations and (of course!) the hunt for the perfect gift for your wife, sister or best friend, this is the time when great knitwear really comes into its own. And with trends like dopamine dressing and winter brights taking over this season, Cara & The Sky knitwear is the perfect way to express yourself all through December.

Let’s get cosy, shall we?

The Knit Everyone Is Talking About: The Balloon Sleeve Jumper

We have to start here.

Our signature balloon sleeve jumper recently had its own moment in the spotlight when it was worn by Vogue on Lorraine , and since then, you’ve been absolutely obsessed with it. If you missed the buzz, here’s the link to the feature:

👉 https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/itvs-lorraine-viewers-rush-new-32502289

There’s something magical about the shape: the soft drape, the dramatic sleeves, and the way it adds this subtle confidence to any outfit. Pair it with jeans, a knit jumper dress, or layer it under a wool coat for winter walks. It’s bold without being over the top , just how we like it.

And yes, it’s available in those rich, uplifting colours we’re known for.

Why Winter Knits Matter in December

Winter is when knitwear becomes the hero of your wardrobe , and not just because it keeps you warm. Good knitwear lifts your mood. It adds personality. It makes you feel put together even on the busiest festive days.

Here’s what makes our knits truly special:

Unique Colour Combinations (hello winter brights!)

Our colourful knitwear is designed to stand out in the sea of greys and blacks. Think pinks, teals, lilacs and soft creams, easy to style, endlessly uplifting.

Statement Shapes That Feel Effortless

From oversized sleeves to textured stitches, our latest knitwear fashion is all about silhouette play. It’s a fresh take on designer knitwear for women that still feels wearable for everyday life.

Knitwear That Works for Every Occasion

• Christmas parties → Choose a bright stripe jumper for instant festive cheer

• Winter getaways → Pack a womens knit cardigan you can throw over everything

• New Year celebrations → A bold knitted jumper with shimmer detailing is your star moment

• Gift season → A cosy knit jumper dress makes the perfect heartfelt present

And yes… there’s always room for one more knit. I promise.

Cara’s Favourite Ways to Style Winter Knits

Here’s how I’m wearing mine right now:

• Balloon sleeve jumper + maxi skirt → perfect for evenings out

• Stripe jumper + denim + knee boots → classic winter weekend look

• Womens knit cardigan + charm necklace → cosy but elevated, especially for gift shopping days

• Colourful knitwear + gold jewellery → dopamine dressing in its purest form

I’m loving pairing our knitwear with jewellery from the Curated by Cara collection too , the 14k gold-plated pieces look beautiful against soft winter yarns.

Time to Wrap Up in Joy ✨

If you’re ready to refresh your winter wardrobe with pieces that feel joyful, warm and truly unique, our knitwear collection is full of beautiful options. From the balloon sleeve jumper worn by Vogue to classic ladies striped jumpers and cosy cardigans, you’ll find something to brighten every December moment.

Hi lovelies,

December has officially arrived, and I don’t know about you, but this time of year always feels like a little bit of magic. Between Christmas parties, cosy winter getaways, and the countdown to New Year’s Eve, there’s something in the air that makes you want to add just a touch more sparkle. And guess what? I’ve got just the thing.

Say hello to Curated by Cara, my handpicked jewellery collection designed to bring a glow to your winter looks and complement all your favourite Cara & The Sky knitwear pieces. Think: charm necklaces that elevate your knit jumper dress, 14k gold-plated rings with gemstones that shimmer under festive lights, and charm bracelets that feel personal, timeless, and oh-so-giftable.

If you’re ready to step into the season of December Sparkle, let’s dive into my winter jewellery favourites…

Why Jewellery Matters This Month

December is full of moments worth dressing up for. Whether you’re heading to an office Christmas party, wrapping up warm for a winter break, or shopping for the perfect gift for your wife, mum, or best friend, the right jewellery can completely transform your outfit.

Lately, I’ve been loving the trend of dopamine dressing, which is clothing and accessories that make you feel good the moment you put them on. Combine that with winter brights, and you’ve got a recipe for joyful, effortless style. Jewellery plays a huge part in this. Even if you’re wearing a simple knitted jumper in a soft neutral, a beautiful piece of gold-plated jewellery instantly brings the look to life.

And let’s be honest, sparkle is practically a December essential.

Meet the Pieces I’m Loving Right Now

Here’s what I’ve carefully chosen to give your winter wardrobe an uplifting lift:

✨ Kaleidoscope Gemstone Pendant Necklace (14k Gold)

The Kaleidoscope Gemstone Tag Pendant Necklace is your instant dose of winter sparkle. With its 14k gold-plated finish and vibrant, multi‑coloured gemstone detailing, this piece catches the light beautifully , perfect for festive evenings, Christmas parties and cosy winter getaways. Designed to complement our colourful knitwear, it layers effortlessly over a knitted jumper or sits chic and simple with a womens knit cardigan. It’s joyful, elegant, and totally unique.(https://www.caraandthesky.com/collections/curated-by-cara/products/kaleidoscope-gemstone-tag-pendant-necklace)

✨ Champagne Charm Necklace 

The Champagne Jewelled Charm Necklace is the definition of subtle festive luxury. With its soft golden glow and delicate jewelled detailing, this 14k gold plated piece adds a refined sparkle to any winter look. It layers beautifully over a knitted jumper for daytime shimmer and transitions effortlessly into evening wear for Christmas parties and New Year celebrations. Lightweight, elegant and easy to style, it’s one of those timeless accessories that feels personal, making it a thoughtful gift for your wife, your sister, or a best friend who loves a touch of December magic.](https://www.caraandthesky.com/collections/curated-by-cara/products/champagne-jewelled-charm-necklace)

How Jewellery Complements Your Cara & The Sky Knits

I created this collection because I wanted accessories that truly elevate the knitwear in your wardrobe. Our designer knitwear for women deserves accessories that match its creativity and spirit.

Here’s how I’d style them:

• Kaleidoscope Gemstone Pendant + Knitted Jumper: Let the multi‑coloured gemstones shine against bold winter brights , perfect for adding instant December sparkle.

• Champagne Charm Necklace + Womens Knit Cardigan: The soft gold glow peeks beautifully from under a cosy sleeve, making it ideal for festive days out or gift shopping.

• Pastel Stone Chunky Ring + Stripe Jumper: A playful pop of colour that pairs effortlessly with our ladies striped jumpers for a joyful winter look.

• 14k Gold-Plated Jewellery + Colourful Knitwear: All three pieces bring a luxurious finish to bright, uplifting knits , perfect for Christmas parties, winter getaways, and New Year celebrations.

Think of these pieces as the final flourish , the sparkle that completes your December story.

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.

Shop her now in the latest knitwear drop, and don’t forget to tag me @caraandthesky to show me how you’re styling your cosy autumn cardigan. I’ll be sharing my favourite Skybabe looks all season long.

Stay colourful, stay cosy,

Hello CATS (Cara And The Sky) World,

Autumn always feels like a reset. The mornings are crisper, the days a little shorter, and we all start craving texture, warmth and colour again. It’s officially knitwear season, that magical time of year when your wardrobe turns into a rainbow of comfort.

Our latest drop (Use this link) brings together everything we love about the colder months: tactile yarns, joyful colours and silhouettes that work from weekday to weekend. These are pieces made to last, so much so that we can’t help wondering if Katherine Ryan is still wearing her Cara and the Sky knit from last year’s viral feature in The Mirror (read it here). That’s the beauty of sustainable knitwear: style that stays with you year after year.

The Knitted Jumper Dress – Style Without the Effort

A ladies knitted jumper dress is the kind of piece you don’t have to think about. Throw it on, add boots and go. This year’s knitted jumper dresses for women are designed with our signature balloon sleeves and textured stitches, elegant, versatile, and full of personality.

If you’re dressing for the school run, a belted knit dress layered with a long coat looks smart without feeling try-hard. Heading out for dinner? Swap trainers for heeled boots and let the shape do the talking. It’s proof that knitwear for women can be as flattering as it is comfortable.

Mini-Me Knitwear for Kids

We’ve also brought back one of our most-loved ideas: knitwear kids that matches Mum’s. There’s something genuinely joyful about coordinating colours and patterns with your little one and our new styles are as soft and sustainable as ever. Matching stripes for park walks, bold colours for playdates; it’s the kind of feel-good fashion that brings smiles all round.

The Colour Story – Bright, Tonal, and Joyful

Cara’s love of colour is as strong as ever this season. Inspired by her recent feature in RTE Lifestyle’s article on trending colour combinations, the collection is all about tonal dressing, bold reds, soft pinks, and pops of sky blue that feel both polished and playful.

Try styling your womens knit cardigan over dusty-rose trousers for a relaxed but powerful look. Or flip the palette with a camel ladies knitted jumper dress and chocolate boots for something chic and understated. These tonal pairings make everyday outfits feel intentional, not safe.

Ready to Wrap Up in Colour?

Our new collection of colourful knitwear UK is designed to last, love and rewear. From knitted jumper dresses for women to knitwear kids sets, each piece is consciously made here in the UK with care and personality woven in.

Hello Lovelies!

Let’s make one thing clear: this is not the season to play small. Maximalism is trending, and honestly? We’ve always been ahead of that curve. At Cara & The Sky, bold colour, oversized shapes, and feel-good fashion are kind of our love language and this autumn, we’re taking it to the next level.

Our new Dream Catcher Drop Collection is here to help you layer louder, colour clash with confidence, and express your mood through your knits.

Meet the Maximalist Knit Dream Team

Brigit Cardigan

The ultimate statement knit. That chunky knitwear texture, those airy stitch panels, and the eye-popping orange make the Brigit Cardigan an instant mood-lifter. Pair with leopard print like we did (YES) or style it with denim and boots for a vibrant everyday moment.

Tasha Jumper

Pastels + oversized fit + a chunky roll-neck = pure dopamine. The Tasha Jumper is a maximalist dream with its colourful jumper stripes and voluminous sleeves. Trust us, it’s a guaranteed head-turner and completely unique.

Jennie Jumper

Don’t let the neutral fool you the Jennie Jumper is far from basic. Its cosy texture and contrast hem bring balance to your bold layers. And the drop shoulder jumper shape adds that relaxed, off-duty feel we all crave.

Max Out, Mindfully

Maximalism doesn’t mean waste. All our pieces are produced in small batches, here in the UK. That means less waste, more intention, and knits that feel as good as they look.

We’re proud to be part of the slow fashion movement designing clothes that last, not fast fashion that fades.

Oh, and every piece is vegan-friendly perfect if you’re looking for conscious, cosy vegan gifts for her.

Let the Sky Be Your Limit

If your wardrobe’s been feeling a little too “meh” lately, it’s time to go maxi. Big knits. Big colour. Big energy.

Easy Layering for Busy Days

Bright, bold and beautifully textured, the Brigit Cardigan in hot orange is your new back-to-school hero piece.

Chef’s kiss.

We’re all about dopamine dressing, and nothing screams joy like the Alex Cardigan. With its elevated cable stitch and longline maxi length. Team it with a silky midi skirt or your comfiest wide-leg trousers and you’re ready for anything.

More Than Just a Pretty Knit

Every Cara & The Sky piece is made in small batches here in the UK, so you won’t see our styles on every high street. We’re part of a growing tribe of indie fashion brands that believe in thoughtful production, beautiful design, and clothes that spark joy.

Bonus? All our pieces are 100% acrylic, so they’re vegan-friendly and make fab vegan gifts for her (or for yourself, obviously).

And with a focus on slow fashion, we create styles that are made to last, not landfill.

Start your new season with bold colour, slouchy silhouettes, and knitwear that lifts your mood 💖

Our best-selling Rhiannon jumper sold out fast but when I tried to restock it, disaster struck. The yarn was discontinued 😱 Here's the full story behind the comeback and how you can help make it happen by pre-ordering.

Ladies, 8th March is here, and that means one thing it’s time to celebrate YOU! International Women’s Day is all about strength, style, and sisterhood, because let’s be honest, the world wouldn’t spin without us.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner (March 30th, mark your calendars!), and I can’t wait to celebrate all the wonderful mums, grandmas, and mother figures out there. Our items sell fast at this time of year. We’ve got just the thing to make it extra memorable; beautiful knitwear, timeless stripes, and a little touch of ‘Mini Me’ magic.

Spring is finally here, and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s that time when we shake off the winter blues, embrace brighter days, and give our wardrobes a little refresh. I love this season, it’s all about lighter layers, fresh colours, and new beginnings. So, let’s chat about keeping your favourite knits in perfect shape and making space for new knitwear while being kind to the planet.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret... I love Valentine’s Day. I’m a sucker for love, the treats, and let’s face it, another excuse to dress cute. Whether you’re planning a date night, hanging out with friends, or treating yourself (because you totally deserve it), there’s something special about this season of love. And let’s not forget Galentine’s Day, it’s the perfect time to celebrate your favourite people with cosy vibes, laughter, and, of course, fabulous knitwear.

As we step into the heart of spring, I find myself reaching for one particular wardrobe staple, Spring knits. Yes, you heard me right! Knits aren’t just for the colder months. In fact, British weather, with its charming unpredictability, even during this month’s SS shoot,  makes spring knits the perfect companion for those breezy mornings, mild afternoons, and cool evenings.
