Is there anything more perfect for a crisp fall day than a cardigan? This one features a flattering V-neckline, a yarn-showcasing deep garter edging, and one stunning button. And even better, the pattern will be created to your own unique gauge and your choice of size.

Yawl is part of the Summer/Fall 2015 CustomFit Basics collection: twice-yearly collections of the classics of our time. Those fundamental, wear-every-day sweaters we can’t wait to throw on. Ready for you to interpret – in your own materials, for your own wardrobe.

Amy is wearing Yawl in an average fit, but it looks great in a relaxed fit too. The yardage requirements listed are based on Amy’s preferred gauge for Green Mountain’s Mewesic yarn, but if your gauge and/or materials differ, CustomFit will give you a personalized yardage estimate for your sweater before purchase.

I hope you’ll try the Mewesic, though - created by Green Mountain Spinnery, this soft, 100% wool woolenspun is lightweight, warm, and snuggly. It comes in an array of beautiful colors, and is just the thing for a crisp, cool day.

(One more note on yardage – while I’ve given approximate quantities for standard size sweaters, CustomFit will make your pattern in the size and gauge of your choice. And it’s pretty tough to give yardage requirements for any possible combination! If you’re not using the recommended yarn, and/or you’re not a standard size, I recommend Hannah Fettig’s amazing app, stashbot, to get a sense of your yardage requirements.)
