The Lyla \u0026amp; Luxe Libby is a hand-knit open-front cardigan in a classic Black and Cream houndstooth — the pattern that has never been out of style, on the construction that makes it feel genuinely special rather than just another knitwear buy. This is the cardigan people notice. Not loudly, not immediately, but they notice — and they ask where you got it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHoundstooth works in a cardigan because it gives you pattern without print — the geometric check reads as intentional and considered at any distance, and in Black and Cream it stays within the neutral palette without being boring. The open-front silhouette means you get all the warmth of a hand-knit cardigan with none of the restrictiveness, and the hand-knit construction gives the Libby a texture and visual depth that machine-knit pieces simply don't have. Worth every penny and then some.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Lyla \u0026amp; Luxe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyla \u0026amp; Luxe is a Canadian knitwear brand making cardigans and sweaters that live at the intersection of comfort and intention — pieces that feel like loungewear but look like you made an effort. The Libby is the brand's considered investment piece: hand-knit construction, a pattern that never dates, and the kind of quality that makes you reach for it all season rather than rotating through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lyla \u0026amp; Luxe | Canadian knitwear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Libby — Hand Knit Houndstooth Open Cardigan\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black \/ Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-knit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Houndstooth pattern · Open front (no closure) · Relaxed fit · Hand-knit texture and depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e XS · S · M · L — model wears Small\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash cold · Lay flat to dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable at:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cloud Nine Pajamas — three Edmonton locations and online, shipping worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eFits CA Clothing Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0–2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4–6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8–10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12–14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f9f6f1;border-radius:6px;padding:10px 14px;margin:10px 0;font-size:13px;color:#4a3f38;\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eFit note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Relaxed, open-front fit — model wears Small.

Hand-knit construction creates a slight variation in stitch tension that gives the fabric a depth and visual richness that machine-knit pieces don't have — it's the difference between something that looks handmade in the best sense, versus something that looks produced. The Libby's houndstooth pattern is particularly effective in hand-knit because the stitch variation gives the check a softness that a machine-knit version wouldn't achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the houndstooth pattern classic or fashion-forward?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nClassic — houndstooth has been a wardrobe staple for decades and shows no signs of going anywhere. In Black and Cream it sits squarely in the timeless category: versatile enough to wear with jeans, tailored trousers, or over pyjamas at home, and considered enough to make any of those combinations feel intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear this as an indoor layer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAbsolutely — the open-front design and relaxed fit make it one of the best home layers in the Lyla \u0026amp; Luxe collection. Throw it over pyjamas in the morning, keep it on all day, wear it out in the evening. The Libby does all of it without missing a beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it wash?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHand wash cold and lay flat to dry. Hand-knit construction benefits from gentle handling — avoid wringing or machine washing, which can distort the stitch pattern and affect the drape over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lyla \u0026 Luxe","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":48763507310837,"sku":"148906","price":179.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SM","offer_id":48763507343605,"sku":"148907","price":179.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MD","offer_id":48763507376373,"sku":"148908","price":179.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LG","offer_id":48763507409141,"sku":"148909","price":179.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/0864\/4519\/files\/LIBBY-F26-BLACK-CREAM-1LYLA_LUXEKnitwearF26.jpg?v=1787699738","url":"https:\/\/www.cloudninepajamas.com\/en-ca\/products\/cardi-hand-knit-houndstooth-black","provider":"Cloud Nine Pajamas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
