A textured shawl collar cardigan reminiscent of days gone by without sacrificing a modern fit. A simple knit/purl texture stitch adds interest to the body and cap sleeves. The deep ribbed shawl collar is worked separately and attached to the body. Leather buttons add a final vintage touch, but for a more modern look try glass, metal or wood.
Base kit includes 5 skeins of Black Pearl DK Cashmere, in Chai Tea for sizes XS, S and M (see below for finished bust and length measurements)and the pattern. The entire kit costs less then buying the pattern and yarn separately.
If you prefer another yarn color instead of chai tea, please email us for availability. If cashmere is out of your price range, we have several great substitutes for this yarn including some of the Artesano Alpaca yarns, Fleece Artist Woolie Silk 3-ply and Sheep Shop 3. We can help you put a kit together with this pattern in another yarn, just email us for help. However, there is nothing like cashmere.
