Hillside Cardigan

Discover the ultimate in comfort and style with this cozy oversized cardigan, expertly designed with a straight silhouette and modified drop sleeves. The deep ribbed cuffs and hem provide an inviting finish, while a beautifully intricate cable rib stitch pattern interspersed with bands of reverse stockinette adds rich texture to the body. The standout feature of this cardigan is its striking cable collar band, which provides the perfect finishing touch to elevate your knitwear collection.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Bust sizes range from 34" to 52½" to suit different body types, with intended ease of 2-4" for a relaxed fit that enhances comfort.

YARN: You will need approximately 1395 to 2120 yards of heavy worsted weight wool or a comfortable wool blend, depending on the size you choose. This yarn weight ensures not only warmth but also the perfect drape for your cozy cardigan.

CONSTRUCTION: This oversized cardigan is knitted in separate pieces, with the fronts and back created from the bottom up. The shoulders are skillfully shaped using short rows and joined together with a 3-needle bind off for a clean finish. The collar bands are knitted alongside the fronts, seamlessly seamed at the center back, and then attached to the back neck for a polished look. The modified drop sleeves are knit flat from the bottom up and expertly set into the armholes, while the sides and underarms are finished with seaming to provide durability. With its classic design and exquisite detailing, this cardigan is perfect for cozy evenings or casual outings.
