Sillerud cardigan or vest is knit top down. Thus, you can decide its length as you knit along. There are no seams. Sillerud has a loose fit, allowing you to nestle down into its wooly warmth. In addition, the decorative yoke creates a special garment for you.

The pattern contains detailed instructions for a jacket or a vest.

Sillerud is great for variegated yarns because you can knit top-down with one single thread without breaking the yarn.

The pattern contains charts as well as a written pattern of the charts.
