Sundrop

The silhouette & texture of this cardigan provide effortless style and comfort alongside an easy fit with (optional) pockets.  With moderate amount of positive ease, this stripes sport weight cardigan is perfect year-round based on your styling.  It's an ideal layering piece for dresses, tops, & tanks.  The sweater is worked from the top down with drop-shoulder seamless sleeves, and a contrasting circular hem that includes the bottom hem, button band, & neckline in the round.  Enjoy options for 3/4 length or long sleeves, cropped or longer body.  The shape of this garment is detailed with rounded corners at the bottom, and looks just as lovely when worked solid.  A single button closure is written, but you can just as easily skip it for an open cardi or to use a shawl pin for closure.
