Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Cotton Ragg Sweaters Open Cardigan Fair Isle

I'm tall and love the tunic length tops. This is warm and cozy and looks great with jeans or my navy cords. All cotton so it's heavy but feels great on a chilly winter day in NH.

My daughter surprised me with this sweater and I absolutely love it. It is just beautiful -- and its warm and looks so nice. I have a few other of Bean's cardigan sweaters - even the other Fair Isle sweater in the harvest tones -- but the Bayside Blue is my favorite. You can't go wrong with these cardigans.

I don't have enough kind words about this cardigan. I love the fit, color, and quality. I usually don't pay full price, but I put this on and fell in love. I wear it with a white or burnt orange t-shirt and jeans.

I really love this sweater. The colors are great and it's very comfy. It's not super lightweight but not too heavy. They were out of Regular Sizes in the Large so I took a chance and ordered the Petite Large and it's definitely not too short on me. Definitely covers my bum which was my main concern. The sleeves may be a teeny bit short but I don't like overly long sleeves anyway! The petite hits slightly above mid-thigh on me and I'm around 5'5".

I love the fit. I love the colors. I'm a denim girl and this is a great match and just the right weight for fall.

I ordered this cardigan because I'd been looking for a long, open cardigan to wear in my house. I keep the temperature in my home during fall and winter at 67 degrees, so I have lots of warm clothing. The design of this cardigan attracted me. I love the colors. Though the price was a bit steep for me, I ordered anyway, as I couldn't find this length anywhere else. It's a bit heavy, but after a few minutes wearing this, I don't notice that. It's thick and warm, exactly what I wanted. The seam fits correctly on my shoulders, (no extra fabric or sagging) and fits properly on my arms (neither loose or tight). There's room to layer a tee shirt or blouse underneath. I've worn this a few times when running errands, but mostly I wear at home. I haven't washed this yet, but when I do, I plan to wash on gentle and dry on low setting. I'm hoping it won't shrink.

Not only is this sweater beautiful, it is so incredibly cozy and warm. It feels like wearing a weighted blanket and I love that.

Treating gently to avoid premature pilling, but I really love this sweater.

This sweater is heavy... well worth the price! I love the colors and the fit. I'm a size 6 and I ordered a small. Can wear a long sleeved T underneath. I am extremely happy with this sweater

This is a beautiful sweater! I received compliments the 1st day I wore it. It has so many colors in it, it's easy to match with other things. I ordered the petite xs. I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to others.

I ordered a medium petite and it fits perfectly and comfortably. For our area, I will wear this early Fall through late Spring

Wow, what a gorgeous sweater! The heavyweight cotton is excellent quality and drapes nicely. It is a really cozy sweater and is perfect for fall weather or lounging around the house. I like the overall length - covers the bum so it can easily be worn with leggings or skinny jeans. The pockets are my favorite feature - they are ample size to fit a phone and keys, when I don't feel like carrying a purse. I usually wear an 8 or medium in tops so I'd say it is true to size. If you are looking for a slimmer fit, size down.

I have been looking for a longer, open sweater with Aztec geometric type of design. However, it is so hard to find one that doesn't fit like a blanket. Kudos to LL for having petite sizing for us short ladies. I love it the design and fit. Even the sleeves hit me right! It is a heavy, cotton weave. So great for cool fall days.

I am in love with this sweater. It gets more comfy every time I wear it. It is roomy enough that I can layer anything underneath it. It's pretty thick, as rag sweaters go, so it is nice and warm. I've put it on over pajamas to take my dogs out in the morning and it has stood up to our very cold Ohio winter mornings. The colors are beautiful and bright. The side pockets are a definite plus for me. The sweater is thick enough that I've had to wear the roomiest coat that I have when I'm going out in the really cold weather. It has washed well in the washer and I lay it flat to dry the fluff it up in the dryer for 10 minutes or so and it's perfect.

Love this beautiful sweater. High quality, thick, warm and fun. Love it in another color

I love Ragg sweaters and this one is beautiful! I ordered PETITE Medium and it is perfect. I plan to wear it to a Valentines Dinner at church on Sunday. I'm going to pair it with dressy jeans and boots. This sweater can be worn instead of a coat when it's not too cold out. Beautiful colors and design. You will love this one!

Love the sweater,with the pockets. I would say its a 3 season garment and I look forward to always wearing it.

I almost always buy a large because I am big busted and like a roomy sweater.

I purchased this sweater, and I bought a large as there was no medium available, the large is not too big, it is very colorful, flattering, soft, and warm. I can wear it as a sweater coat or just as a cardigan in the cooler weather, I would recommend this sweater, I wore it to Christmas and it looked great in the family pictures.

I got this sweater for my Mom to wear in Vermont. She liked it very much, said it was nice and warm and she especially liked the long length and the pockets.

I bought this sweater for my 20 year old daughter. It looks nicer in person than the picture. Nice texture, deep colors, comfortable medium weight. Stylish enough for a young college student.

This sweater is a real beauty. The colors are so complementary. It will be great for winter, as it is not a flimsily made product. A+

Warm, comfortable, cozy. Perfect for wearing at the end of the day while curled up on the couch with a cup of tea, which is exactly what I use it for! Ordered XL but probably could have gotten away with a L.

It fits me a bit on the large side, that is how I wanted it. It is a bit heavy but I knew it would be. Great for chilly days and I can even wear a sweatshirt underneath should I need.

I love this sweater!!! I was a little afraid it would look bulky and add pounds but that isn't the case at all. It fits perfectly and is very attractive in person.The cotton yarn is as soft as cashmere and probably as delicate. I consider it a special occasion sweater, not a knock around sweater, in spite of its casual appearance. It will be all too easy to catch the yarn on something and pull it out and the loose twist of the yarn, which gives it its softness, releases fibers quite easily. This sweater is going to be a challenge to wash for sure. It is very thick cotton. It is heavy, 2lb 3oz in fact! All that said, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat because it is just soooo pretty and looks soooo nice on.
