What is a knitted sweater called?
1 Answer
A knitted sweater is called a cardigan or a jersey. Knitted sweaters are created by a single thread or yarn, assisted by needles, to create interlocking loops, instead of the multiple warp yarns used in woven fabrics. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and designer knitted sweaters from top fashion boutiques around the world.
