Answer

Cardigan is a knitted sweater or jacket, typically worn over other clothing. It is named after the 7th Earl of Cardigan, who led the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War. Cardigans are usually open at the front, and may have a collar or lapels. They can be made from various materials, including wool, cotton, and synthetic fibers.
