Falling Drops cardigan
Falling Drops cardigan is knitted from the top down with raglan increases in the yoke. This cardigan features a solid color yoke and colorwork in the body and cuffs. The colorwork cardigan is knitted in the round and finished by steeking it open. The cardigan also features pockets.
The colorwork consists of small drops, bobbles, falling irregularly along vertical stripes. Only imagination is the limit; you can create the sweater with the colors of autumn leaves like the sample or are you more of a fan of a light-colored cardigan? The cardigan works wonderfully in two colors as well.
