Bryce Pillar Cardigan is sure to become the layering piece you always reach for with its classic cables and texture in an easy to wear drop shoulder silhouette. The v-neckline with shawl collar add a blazer-like feel that lends well to dressing up or dressing down. This works up quickly in DK to light worsted weight yarn, where solids and semi-solids will show off the stitch pattern best.

Garment Construction: This drop-shoulder cardigan with v-neck is worked seamlessly in one piece from the bottom up. There is no waist shaping for an easy fit through the body. The fronts and back are worked separately above the armholes, with short row shaping at the shoulders and then joined with a 3-needle bind off. Sleeves are picked up along the armhole edges and knit in the round to the cuff. The button band is picked up along center front edges to finish the front opening, with short rows shaping the shawl collar.

Suggested Yarn: Knotty Pine Fiber Co. Laramie Range DK or other DK to light worsted weight yarn that knits to gauge
