Melrose – Project Kit
Melrose – Project Kit
Perfectly proportioned for easy layering, the Melrose cardigan has a deep v-neck and Dolman sleeve shaping with braided and ribbed stitch details. You can wear it open or tied at the front.
We are delighted to introduce this pattern with our yarn, Studio Blend No. 1, a luxuriously crafted blend of cashmere and yak. The yardage estimate for each kit factors enough yarn for the garment in the selected size, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and knitter tension variance.
Each Melrose Project Kit includes a digital pattern, delivered by email at time of shipping.
See additional pattern information shown below photographs for the number of skeins required per size and sleeve option. Make a skein amount and color selection to see its yarn photo.
