Ice Skater Cardigan
Black Cherry
Other colours
Ice Skater vintage style cardigan in wool from Emmy Design in Rust.
A beautiful cardigan in true vintage style with flattering cable knit, puffs at the shoulders and high neckline. And then it's cut at the waist, so it fits perfectly with all your feminine retro and vintage-inspired outfits that focus on the waist and the hourglass silhouette!
The cardigan is knitted in 100% merino wool - the same fantastic quality that big fashion houses like Gucci and Louis Vuitton use in their collections!
The advantage of wool is that it is warm and breathable, and it stays fresh for a long time, which means you can cut down on the frequency of washing. Wool can be itchy on some, but Emmy has solved this problem by mercerizing the wool. This process makes the wool very soft and also gives the surface a light shine.
If you don't already have one or more of these beautiful cardigans in your wardrobe, we can only recommend that you get your hands on one, but be careful, because you will undoubtedly become addicted!
- A must-have for autumn and winter.
- Wear them over your 40s and 50s tops and shirts.
- The perfect "cropped" length for all your high-waisted vintage skirts and trousers, so that the focus is on the hourglass figure even when you need to keep warm.
- A 'classic' in the finest soft quality merino wool from Italy.
- Mustard yellow is a real autumn classic, and will fit beautifully into your vintage autumn wardrobe.

Why we love Ice Skater Cardigan in Black Cherry
Perfect for layering
The cropped, fitted shape finishes at the waist and enhances an hourglass silhouette. Soft merino wool provides comfort, warmth and freedom of movement.
All year round
Wear it over a vintage dress or blouse, or style it with high-waisted trousers and skirts. The elegant shade works beautifully for everyday wear, the office, dinner and special occasions.
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 simple and functional silhouettes of the 1940s, with clean lines and a feminine everyday feel.
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.
