Expression Fiber Arts Pearlescent Fingering Yarn

If those colors aren’t available, any shade from this category will work. A total of 8.3 oz or 1140 yards total were used for the sample shown. Shown in size Small/Medium.

Opt for another kit/base if you prefer! Our other lace, fingering or sport weight kits would be divine! See all kits here.

NEEDLES: US 3 (3.25 mm) 32” circular to hold the large number of stitches.

This pattern is fairly simple to create and once you’ve learned the drop stitch via the attached video, you’ll be golden!

Notes From the Designer:

•Drift is a cardigan that gives you the feeling of comfort and ease as you sip a relaxing beverage with your face to the sun.

•This design works up quickly with a simple rectangular structure and a six-row repeating pattern featuring intentionally dropped stitches that combine warmth with airiness, making it the perfect accessory for beautiful summer days that drift into unforgettable nights.

•We chose to make this in our luscious, gleaming Pearlescent Fingering yarn, but any draping fingering weight yarn you love will work. Lace or sport could be used too!

•Allow your cares to drift away with the wind as you make and wear this piece. For this moment, all is well.
