Tryon Creek is a classic cabled cardigan with shawl collar and pockets. A plump lateral braid (instructions included) adds structure and a design element at the top of the shoulders.

The construction is top-down and seamless with slightly dropped shoulders. There’s plenty of structure built into the design so that it will keep its shape even after lots of wear. Pockets are set in as the body is worked and then sides are tacked down after blocking. The side panels in reverse stockinette offer easy sizing adjustments and the option to add increases for additional width at the hemline.

Try it on as you go to get the exact length you desire… that’s the beauty of top-down and seamless designs!

Pattern is written for 2x2 ribbing that flows out from the cable stitches on the hem, pocket and sleeve cuffs, but it also includes a more simple option for 1x1 ribbing.

Tryon Creek will look good in any DK to light worsted yarn that meets gauge, has little color variation, and good stitch definition. And with its unisex styling, the design looks equally great on everyone!

Sizing is inclusive with intended ease of 6 inches / 15 cm at chest.

Note that there are 3 samples shown. The darker grey sample is a larger size which shows across the shoulders on my medium model. It was made for my son-in-law and fits him perfectly. The other 2 samples are size medium on my medium model.

This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested. The pattern instructions are charted and written.
