• Product description

  This open-front drop-yoke cardigan is the height of snuggly fashion. The brioche shawl collar, shaped with simple short rows, sweeps back to form pockets at the hem, and the sleeves begin below the elbows to create a cape-like silhouette. Tiny gutters of purl stitches trace a flattering A-line from hem to neckline within the volume of the coat. Top-down seamless construction makes Ronan a straightforward knit, and woolen-spun Shelter keeps the fabric light and airy despite the generous ease and long length.

  CONSTRUCTION

  • This sweater is worked flat in one piece from the top down. Stitches for the sleeves are placed on hold at the end of the yoke, then the body is continued to the hem edge. The sleeves are worked circularly from the top down. Stitches are picked up for the collar around the front and back neck edges. Work continues over some of the collar stitches at each side of the bottom edge of the collar to form the pockets, which are folded back and sewn in place.
