• Product description

  The architectural textures of this design are perfectly suited for round, multi-ply yarns with superior stitch definition. Both Tones (3-ply) and Imbue (5-ply) yarns create beautiful fabrics that make the most of all the textural details on this garment.

  “I created my ideal sweater companion for when I’m getting my hands dirty in the autumn garden. The geometric cable pattern reminds me of the beautiful garden trellises I saw on my last trip to Japan. Two different rib patterns are used to anchor the strong diagonals of this twisted-stitch fabric. A band and shawl collar are worked in a plush garter rib stitch that creates a sturdy, durable finish with a clean silhouette. The sleeves are wide and relaxed, falling just below the elbow — a true work sweater that lets you get your hands dirty, in the garden, the kitchen, the woodshop, or anywhere else you need to stay warm and cozy without your sweater getting in the way of your hands.” — designer, Jared Flood

  CONSTRUCTION

  This relaxed cardigan features a cozy double-layered shawl collar and highly textured surface design. The garment is worked flat, in three pieces, then seamed together. Each pattern piece has garter stitch selvedges along each seamed edge which make lining up and seaming pieces more intuitive and accurate. The garment’s front bands are worked contiguously with garment fronts to the high-shoulder point, then an additional collar extension is worked which will be seamed to the back neck. The front bands and collar are worked two times the width of the finished band, with a slip-stitch “fold line” being worked at the band’s center. When finished, the band is folded in half along the foldline and tacked down on the inside of the garment to produce a double-thick band that gives the garment structure and plush durability. The relaxed fit and feel of the garment avoids the use of button closures, although a decorative pin or clasp may be added to the garment if closure is desired.
