Death's Head Moth Cardigan - Gothic Botanical Knitwear

Button it up and a death's head hawkmoth spreads its wings right across your chest, skull and all, rising out of a tangle of toadstools, ferns, wildflowers and roots. Turn around and there's the whole moth again on the back, while the botanicals grow all the way down both sleeves. It's the cardigan for reading ghost stories by candlelight, or for wandering the woods at dusk looking for things most people step over.

Returns: As this knitwear is made-to-order for us by a partner, it is classed as a custom item and is not eligible for a return or a refund unless it arrives damaged. Please measure carefully before ordering, and if unsure, size up, the sizing is snug.

Fit note: Measurements are in centimetres and taken flat, with the width measured on the finished knit from armpit to armpit. UK and high-street sizes are a guide: if you are between sizes, or want a relaxed fit, size up. Please allow for slight variation due to the custom knitted production process.
