Description
Easygoing in spirit yet thoughtful in every detail, our Top-Down Turtleneck Cardigan + Henley is an all-time classic. Cast on on with our recycled wool yarn, Echo Wool, for a comforting staple with a quiet sophistication—especially satisfying if you make both versions to wear together!
-
Cardigan or henley, both start the same way, beginning with the charmingly unfussy stockinette stitch collar. From there, you continue knitting from the top down and all in one piece, shaping the saddle shoulders and set-in sleeve caps that give this relaxed sweater its structure and fit. Once you’ve set aside stitches for the sleeves, it’s time to choose your path: continue working flat for the cardigan or join in the round for the henley.
-
Finished with a split hem and rolled edges all around, this sweater has inviting details that pair beautifully with the lived-in comfort of exceptionally soft Echo Wool.
-
The mill that makes Echo Wool reclaims fibers from their own production waste to create this 100% recycled wool yarn, wonderfully versatile on the needles for happy knitting across a range of gauges from sport to DK weight. For the Top-Down Turtleneck, the sweet spot is on the denser side, for a soft fabric with plenty of drape and a cozy feel.
Pick from a palette of 16 heathered colors, each speckled with lively nepps for a slightly nubbly tweed fabric… We chose stormy Blue Brume for our cardigan and earthy Tilled Field for our henley!
PLEASE NOTE: This is an update to our original Top-Down Turtleneck Cardigan, originally in Mulberry Merino and later in Brume, both of which we no longer carry. (A previous version of this pattern also featured Good Wool, which is still a great choice!) 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 (for free!).
