Introduction:

Welcome to the world of cashmere, I warn you once you enter it will change your life. This yarn is AMAZING! The softness and fluffiness without the fly a ways and itch. What can beat that? Rowan had done it again.
I decided to make this my kind of fade. This colorwork pattern complements my colour flowing into another color idea so well. Just imagine the combos! So much fun.
The drape is lovely as well. Knitted with some ease to fit over a dress on a cooler summer/spring day. It never gets boring. Just when you are tired of 1 color it turns into another.
Feel free to customize the length. It can go on forever. Does anyone dare to knit this into a dress?

Overview of design/construction:

Knitted top down in one piece, it’s a fun and quick knit. I chose to knit this top slightly cropped with a cap sleeve, but length in sleeve and body of the garment can easily be added. Note, modification will affect yarn usage.

Skills required:

• Familiarity with top down sweater construction,
• Cast on and bind off,
• Working in the round with circular needles,
• Simple stranded colour work,
• Working from chart recommended,
Level of difficulty: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate

Materials:
Cashmere Haze by Rowan. Sample uses colour Umbra (700), Moonbow (701) and Polar night (703). Chose 3 shades from light, medium and dark.
