Breckenridge Cardi with Vest Option
Several years ago I attended an October wedding in the mountains of Breckenridge, Colorado. I was in awe of the majestic scenery, and was reminded of it recently when I found this yarn that nearly replicates the golden color of the aspen trees and the brilliant blue of the sky. I chose a stitch pattern with vertical ridges to further evoke the image of the Rocky Mountains, and selected buttons that really pop. Can you smell the mountain air?
The di.Ve Autunno yarn is extremely soft and the colors are just beautiful This is really one of the softest merinos I’ve used, ever.
It’s available in 7 sizes, from 34.5 to 53.25” finished chest.
The pattern also includes instructions for making it into a vest.
Vest yardarge requirements are roughly 70% of the amount needed for the cardigan.
