I'm looking for a specific sort of cardigan but I'm not sure what it's called or how to search for it

It's a cardigan, but very very lightweight. Not wool. Sort of... stretchy fine knit... but not tshirt material either. So fine and lightweight it's a bit see-through. And it's long - covers my bum - amost to the back of my knees. And very drapey at the front, and cut-away. And a bit batwing perhaps? And very shapeless and sloppy.

I need to get 2 or 3 in various colours (I really want a bright orange one).

I did buy a poo brown one from H&M that I loved but it got a hole in it quite quickly.

But I'm shopping online and wading through endless button-up cardies. What should I be looking for?

Think it sounds like a waterfall cardigan

Yep, sounds like a waterfall to me

Wrap? Waterfall cardigan? Fine knit cardigan?
Good luck!

Another vote for waterfall cardigan

Waterfall eh? Could be. I'll try.

Is there another special word I can use to make it thin and not woolly and warm?

Fine knit, waterfall cardigan?

Hmm the batwing makes me think of a knit kimono

I think I got one from hush exactly what you're askingin summer. I love it so much. No idea how they labeled it.

No help at all

Try cocoon cardigan, i think that is the style closest to what I mean, def not waterfall as that has the extra fabric flopping around

Here's a waterfall one from the white company, pricey but wondered if this is the type you mean?

Phase Eight is usually good for floaty cardigans....

I've got some similar ones in a fine linen yarn - East IIRC - search on "linen cardigan" might bring some up?

here?

orange

at "poo brown cardigan"

cape cardigan?

zara

jersey kimono cardigan

it might be the wrong season for buying sheer cardigans now

Tesco have some long cardis in atm, lovely peachy shell pink one with a sheer panel across the shoulders

I think is IS a cocoon cardi. Less flappy at the front than waterfall. Although some of the waterfalls are not too flappy - and there seem to be more waterfalls around.

Thank you for all the links and suggestions.

bluesky - yes, almost like the white company one, but baggier and longer and sloppier and less warm. And more bat-wingy. Same goes for the phase eight ones.

RaisingSteam - I love the shape of the orange one! Not quite the right orange for me though.

I think this is about the right shape. And it's called a cocoon. Hard to tell in black.

I need them for work - I have to be covered up, but it's quite warm, so fine, loose and floaty are the way forward. And they bung on top of dresses and skirts and everything.
