The verdict
Fit
Crochet is naturally looser and airier than knit. Arlo cut is typically relaxed. Expect good drape and breathability; crochet doesn't stretch like jersey knit, so size true.
Quality
Crochet construction at $80 likely uses simpler yarn and basic techniques, but crochet's texture and stitch structure hide flaws. Durability is decent at this price.
Is the price fair?
Excellent budget value for textured, artisanal-looking knitwear. The crochet technique justifies minimal premium.
Best for
Shoppers wanting an affordable, artistic-looking cardigan for casual wear, and who appreciate open-weave texture.
Care
Crochet holes snag easily; hand wash and dry flat, and store carefully to avoid pulling.
What owners report about Joe's Jeans sweaters
There is little editorial coverage of Joe's Jeans knitwear; the substantive owner feedback sits on a rental platform, where the same fair-isle, argyle and cardigan styles carried in this range average about 4.5 of 5 stars across roughly 90 to 200 reviews each. Renters describe the merino wool-blend knits as warm and cozy for the season. The recurring caveat in the fit data: most rate the fit true to size, but on every style checked a consistent minority report the piece running big overall.
- Strengths
- Renters rate the patterned wool-blend knits consistently high — about 4.5 of 5 across hundreds of reviews — and describe them as warm and comfortable.
- Watch out for
- The one recurring flag is fit: a steady minority of reviewers on each style report the knits running big overall.
- Sizing
- Most fit reports say true to size, with 'runs big' the most common deviation on every style checked — if between sizes, the smaller is the safer pick.
