Top-Down Turtleneck Cardigan Pattern Download

BY Purl Soho

The ease of our Top-Down Turtleneck Cardigan starts with the construction and ends with the details. Saddle shoulders that transition into set-in sleeves make for a form-following fit, while rolled edges provide an unconstricted finish. And the turtleneck? In simple stockinette, it drops in a gentle cascade, offering warmth and beauty but not confinement! The pleasure all comes down to the choice of yarn, or in this case, yarns. Because we love options, we knit up two versions, one in our super light and cozy Brume, a blend of wool, mohair, and silk, and one in 100% undyed Andean highland Good Wool, a wonderfully natural choice. Both are amazing!

PLEASE NOTE: This is an update to our original Top-Down Turtleneck Cardigan in Mulberry Merino, which we no longer carry. We've changed yarns and also expanded the sizing. If you've purchased this pattern in the past, please just download it from your account for the latest version!
