ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cardigan (sweater)

A cardigan sweater is a cozy and warm piece of clothing that you can wear when you feel cold. It's like wearing a big hug because it covers your body, arms, and even your hands if you want to.

Imagine a big piece of cloth that is stitched together to make a sweater that can open and close like a book. You can put your arms through the sweaters' sleeves and then button it up or zip it up. You can also leave it open if you prefer.

Some cardigan sweaters have pockets in the front where you can store small things like toys or candies. They're also made from different materials like wool or cotton, which means they can feel different on your skin.

You can wear a cardigan sweater when you're playing outside on a chilly day, or when you're just feeling lazy and want to stay cozy inside. They're perfect for snuggling up in front of the TV or reading a book.

Cardigan sweaters come in all sorts of colors, so you can pick one that matches your favorite shirt or pants. They also come in different sizes, so you can find one that fits you perfectly.
