Inspired by quiet mornings, soft light and the comfort of well-worn knits, Ridgely is designed with ease and intention, featuring a relaxed, slightly oversized fit and a simple textured fabric of knits and purls. European shoulder construction and softly dropped set-in sleeves lend clean lines and a polished silhouette to your new favorite sweater.
Instructions are written and charted.
Construction
Ridgely is worked seamlessly from the bottom up to the armholes. The pullover is then divided and the front and back yoke are knit flat. The front shoulders are finished with applied I-cord edging and shoulders are seamed once the back yoke is complete. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up at the armholes and knit in the round to the cuffs. The neckband is picked up and knit in the round.
