A textural delight, Snowberry features front panels of cables and bobbles. Snowberry was designed for layering and being worn open. The front edges are cabled and are my favorite part of the design. Snowberry is a very fun knit that ends with a beautiful cardigan that you will reach for time and again.

Snowberry is begun by knitting a panel of honeycomb cables to form the back neck. Stitches are picked up along the edge of this panel to begin the sweater from the top-down. The contiguous set-in sleeve method gives a refined fit while still retaining the benefits of a top-down knit. The cardigan is designed to fall at mid-hip.

Choosing your best size for Snowberry is very important. Please watch my video on how to choose your size before beginning. Click on this link to go right to it.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Finished chest measurement (open): 29.25 (32.25, 35.25, 37.25, 41, 44) (46.75, 50.5, 52.5, 55.5, 59.25) inches / 73 (80.5, 88, 93, 102.5, 110) (117, 126.5, 131.5, 139, 148) cm

Intended to fit a chest measurement of: 33 (36, 39, 42, 45, 48) (51, 54, 57, 60, 63) inches / 82.5, (90, 97.5, 105, 112.5, 120) (127.5, 135, 142.5, 150, 157.5) cm

For best results, choose the size closest to your upper bust measurement because this will give you the best fit in the shoulders. A good fit in the shoulders is the most important thing for this sweater. This sweater has an open front so the finished measurement of the sweater will be smaller than your chest circumference.
