"A quick Top Down cardigan or jacket with short or long sleeves," says Gemmell. "Work with either 2 strands of Sports/DK yarn held together, or 1 strand of Chunky weight yarn. Knit one with short sleeves for summer and long sleeves for winter. Optional waist and hip shaping." You have to know Gemmell to know how seriously she takes grading and shaping within a pattern, but most especially for larger sizes. She has spent months perfecting the scale and proportions of this design: and we know you can buy with confidence. And of course, as always, the pattern is written in Cabin Fever's wonderful friendly, detailed style. A smaller-sized Simply Top Down is available here.
