Every spring I feel the need to make yet another Feather Weather Cardigan. I love creating a completely new version just by mixing and matching fibers, colors and textures. You can do long sleeve, short sleeve, three quarter sleeve . . . whatever you desire!
The pattern will fit most. The design is very flowy and has a lot of positive ease. The shoulder width as per the instructions is 34cm (Merino Aran shoulder section). The sleeves are very roomy. If you would like to modify the sizing, cast on more (or less) stitches to accommodate your own shoulder width. The rest of the pattern will be easy to figure out as there’s no shaping.
We put together some Solid and Scrappy version kits for you and even some scrappy with a bit of sparkle for those of you who enjoy some subtle shine :). For the aran weight required for the shoulder section, I chose Madeline Tosh TML Triple Twist. The body is comprised of some of our favorite fluffy, soft, hazey mohairs and brushed cashmeres. See below to see what yarns each colorway is comprised of.
