ma·til·da
(muh-'til-duh). noun [usu. as object]
is a top-down knit, color-block, yoke collared cardigan that looks right either in the country or paired with skinny coloured jeans for that of the moment downtown look. Matilda’s braided patterns are achieved sans cable needle -- allowing you to zip along! Its highly textured surface is constructed through a series of twisted stitches and fancy knits & purls.
ORIGIN New York City, pattern written by the Jones & Vandermeer design team.
EXPERIENCE LEVEL Advanced (while not difficult, Matilda utilizes short row shaping in the yoke section).
SIZE Finished Bust Size: 34, 36, 38, 40, 44” (shown in size 38”; actual finished measurements. no ease has been factored in. for a classic fit (as shown on the mannequin), we recommend adding 2” of ease. for a loose, off the shoulder look (as shown on our model, miss e), please factor in 4-6" of ease. miss e is wearing a size 38" and has an actual bust measurement of 32-33").
