Sundrop

$10.00

This pattern is part of the 4-piece collection from my first ever retreat: Stitch & Beach! Each design easily stands alone with a huge variety of included options, but they are even better when purchased together. Check out the entire collection here.

The silhouette & texture of this cardigan provide effortless style and comfort alongside an easy fit with (optional) pockets. With a moderate amount of positive ease, this stripey sport weight cardi is perfect year-round based on your styling. It's an ideal layering piece for dresses, tops & tanks. Sweater is worked from the top down with drop-shoulder seamless sleeves and a contrasting circular hem that includes hem, buttonband & neckline in the round. Enjoy options for 3/4 length or long sleeves, cropped or a longer body. The shape of this garment is detailed with rounded corners at the bottom and looks just as lovely when worked solid. A single button closure is written, but you can just as easily skip it for an open cardi or to use a shawl pin for closure.

SIZING

Sweater is shown in Size 4 with approx 6.5"/16.5 cm positive ease. 5-8"/12.5-20.5 cm positive ease is recommended. With this construction method and level of ease, you may use your Upper Chest/Upper Bust to choose your size, which will likely result in a better fit at the neckline & shoulders. [Click here][3] to view a video tutorial for taking this measurement. 13 sizes are provided to give you plenty of options.

EXPERIENCE

Pattern is suitable for adventurous beginner to intermediate level knitters comfortable with basic increasing & decreasing, provisional & cable cast-ons, short row shaping and picking up and knitting stitches. Stripe Pattern is easy to follow for knitters of any level. Written instructions are included for basic W&T short rows and optional Tubular BO.
