Product Details
This open fromt cardigan is knit from the top down, beginning with the back. Shoulder sts for the fronts are picked up from the back, and the front shoulders are shaped with short rows. The front edging is knit as you go as part of the main piece.
Sleeves sts are picked up from the body, and tops of the sleeves are shaped with short rows to give a modified drop shoulder. The sleeves are then worked in the round.
The pattern includes two body styles: short and straight, or long and slightly A-line. (The long version is shown in the photos.) The length from the underarm is 37 cm (15 inches) for the short version, and 53 cm (21 inches) for the long version. Since it is knit top down, it is also easy to modify to any other length.
Perseids is intended to be worn with 5-8 inches (12-20 cm) of positive ease around the chest. The measurements given above are the circumference of the finished cardigan holding the front edges together.
Sample shown was knit n Harrisville Designs "Nightshades" yarn.
