Somerset is a lovely, drop-shoulder cabled women’s poncho. The allover cable pattern weaves its way up the front and back of this drop-shoulder piece on a ribbed background that flows neatly into the shoulders and turtleneck. Knit in Valley Yarns Brodie, it is worked in two pieces from the bottom up, and is joined at the drop shoulders. Turtleneck stitches are picked up around the neckline. Split side hems keep it casual and comfortable. The cable pattern is both charted and written out.
