Product Description
Sunset Primrose is a garden-inspired cardigan (it’s a gardigan!!) knit seamlessly on circular needles from the top down. The yoke features stranded colorwork in a folksy floral motif. A column of steek stitches is built into the design for knitting in the round without interruption; the steek is then cut, and stitches picked up for the front button band and placket. (To knit a pullover version, simply eliminate the steek stitches.)
Sunset Primrose is designed to be slightly cropped and relaxed, with three quarter sleeves — perfect for springtime and transitional weather, when a season-spanning sweater is practical. Sleeve length and body length can easily be adjusted to suit your individual preference. The neckline has short row shaping; additional short rows at the back hem create a figure-flattering shape.
The sample pictured was knit using Manos del Uruguay Milo, a blend of 65% wool, 35% linen (each skein is approx. 380 yards /350m, 100g)
