DROPPED RHYTHM is comfortable and soft, made in our Merry O (superwash merino and silk) and Fluffy B (alpaca lace weight boucle), just pure heaven to touch and wear.

Uncomplicated and effortless to make; the yoke is worked in one piece starting at the back and working around to the front and to the back again. The short row shaping makes the garment sit beautifully and neatly on your shoulders. Before joining the cast-on and cast-off edges you drop the central sts between the cables to create a cascade of ladders. Then all you have to do is use the ‘pick-up stitches’ method around the yoke to create the collar, the sleeves and the main swishy body of the garment; soft and delicious.

DROPPED RHYTHM is very elegant but funky and quite unusual at the same time.

Wear and enjoy.
