#74 Top Down Long Lace Cardigan PDF Knitting
Pattern
Here's THE project to make this season! It has all
the latest detailing and is knit from the top down
for minimal finishing.
The bulky yarn is a soft merino wool blend, giving
this cardigan a wonderfully cozy feel. The slightly
wider collar allows whatever you layer underneath
to show through. The shorter sleeves are 3/4 length
if you leaves the cuffs down, or above the elbow if
you fold them up. The bold lace panel design adds
wonderful sophistication and the knit-in pockets are
practical, fun, and so now.
Substantial ribbing at the bottom adds a nice finish
to the longer tunic length and big, beautiful buttons
all the way down allow you to wear it open many different
ways.
This is a sweater to wear with EVERYTHING. (I get
so many compliments on it!) Plus, it's an easy style
that can be worn by many figures.
And lastly, it is knit from the top down, so you can
add length to the sleeves or body if you wish by just
knitting more rows!
