Starlight Adventure

Choose your own sweater adventure :: A cropped, open draped cardigan, with drop-sleeves, a luxurious shawl collar and deep cuffs for extra warmth.

Four garments in one pattern!! There are two distinct styles, using two different stitch patterns. Choose the long-sleeved cardigan for cozy evenings at home, or knit up the vest to throw on over your favorite outfit for a cool date night! The pattern is also offered using one-color brioche stitch, or 1x1 ribbing for the Collar and Cuffs.

Notes about construction: Each garment is started with the Main Body, knit sideways using squishy garter stitch stripes. Afterthought sleeves are added simultaneously, then the collar stitches are picked up from a simple selvedge. The sleeves or arm openings are added last so that you can try it on as you go!

Skill level: Intermediate. Techniques used: knitting, purling, i-cord cast on, i-cord bind off, picking up stitches, brioche knit (brk), brioche short rows, modular construction.
