Skye – Cardigan Knitting Pattern – PDF

A cardigan that carries the wind of the Scottish isles and the warmth of fine wool: enveloping, tailored, with that smock stitch yoke that catches the eye.

Skye is worked flat, top down, seamlessly. The three-dimensional smock stitch on the yoke can be beautifully enhanced with a fluffy fibre like mohair held together with merino. Short rows at the back give extra length and a comfortable, tailored fit. The body and sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch; sleeves in the round.

The pattern comes in 7 sizes, from XS to 3XL. Direct links to video tutorials for special techniques are included.
