#70 Lush and Lacy Cardigan PDF Knitting Pattern


This cardigan is lush and lacy, with beautiful detailing throughout. Wide diamond lace panels emerge from the 2 knit-in front pockets. The back features a ruffled peplum design that is echoed in the gorgeous elbow-length sleeves. Shaping is done within the Narrow Reverse Stockinette stitch panels bordering each lace panel to accentuate the sexy shape. See a larger picture of the cardigan front below.

The cardigan is finished with 6 antique glass buttons and a curved garter stitch collar. Simply stunning and incredibly unique design. As wonderful to make as it is to wear!

This is an intermediate knitting project.
