Product description

Melissa Wehrle is known for elevating basic shapes with just the right details. She brings that meticulous attention to detail to Truss, a contemporary, drop-shoulder cardigan with flattering ribbed side panels. Decorative eyelets follow pyramids of ribbing, echoing the lines of the V-neck and providing subtle shaping at the waist. The split hem begins with ribbing worked separately for the fronts and back; the work is then joined to knit the body in one piece to the underarms. The back and fronts are again worked separately to the shoulders; sleeves are knit flat and seamed in. Boasting tidy lines, this cardigan’s modern yet classic versatility makes for easy styling.

Designer: Melissa Wehrle

Collection: Wool People, Volume 9; 10th Anniversary

    CONSTRUCTION

    • The ribbings for the right front, back, and left front are worked separately from the bottom up. All three sections are then joined together and the body is worked flat in one piece to the armholes, forming side slits where the separate ribbings were joined. The body is then divided for right front, back, and left front and worked separately to the shoulders.
    • The sleeves are worked flat and sewn into the armholes. The collar and front bands are picked up and worked after garment assembly.
