Ice Breaker Cardigan
black
Vintage style Ice Breaker Cardigan from Emmy Design in black.
Small design changes and a stronger version of Emmy's beloved vintage style cardigan 'The Ice Skater'.
The Ice Breaker cardigan is a lovely vintage style cardigan with flattering cable knit. Note the new twisting pattern, which is inspired by twists in Celtic tradition. There are, of course, still puff sleeves at the shoulders and a nice high V-neck.
The cardigan reaches the waist, making it perfect for all your feminine retro and vintage-inspired outfits that focus on the waist and hourglass silhouette! The cardigan fastens at the front with buttons in the same color.
The cardigan is knitted from 100% merino wool and the Ice Breaker Cardigan is thicker than the Ice Skater, making it warmer and just right to snuggle into on a cold autumn or winter day.
Do you already have one or more Ice Skater Cardigans in your wardrobe? Then don't deprive yourself of the new Ice Breaker. If you don't have an Emmy cardigan yet, we can only recommend that you get your hands on one, but be careful, because you will undoubtedly become addicted to Emmy's lovely knits!
- Classic cardigan in black; perfect for everything!

Why we love Ice Breaker Cardigan in black
Perfect for layering
Wear it over dresses, with high-waisted jeans or together with a skirt for a feminine and wearable look.
All year round
A good knit or cardigan is a favourite you can wear on cool summer days, through transitional seasons and all winter long.
Styling tip
Use knitwear and cardigans as the soft layer over dresses, blouses, jeans or skirts. It adds both warmth and vintage feeling.
Era inspiration
Inspired by the feminine retro look of the 1950s, with a defined waist, soft shapes and styling that works beautifully with shirts, cardigans and pretty accessories.
Find the right vintage cardigan
Our vintage-inspired cardigans feature feminine fits and classic details, making them easy to pair with dresses, skirts and high-waisted trousers. The styles are primarily inspired by 1940s and 1950s fashion, when short, fitted cardigans, delicate knit patterns, embroidery and feminine sleeves were characteristic of the era.
We always recommend checking the bust, waist and length measurements of each individual style rather than simply choosing your usual size. Some vintage cardigans have a close, fitted silhouette, while others are designed with a looser cut. The fabric composition also affects how much the cardigan stretches. Choose the retro cardigan that suits your desired look—from a simple everyday cardigan to a short, feminine style worn over a dress or a classic look inspired by the 1940s and 1950s.
Most of our cardigans from brands such as Emmy Design and Weekend Doll are cut at the waist, so they look best with high-waisted trousers and skirts or worn over dresses.
Cardigans from Emmy Design are primarily made from merino wool and should therefore preferably be hand-washed or simply aired, as wool is self-cleaning. If you want a cardigan that can be machine-washed, choose one made from cotton, such as those from Palava.
A cardigan can be a lovely alternative to a jacket worn over a dress when it is fitted and cut at the waist.
Wear your cardigan as a top by buttoning it all the way up to the neck, or wear it open over a top or dress. This gives you a versatile garment that can be styled in several different ways.
