#77 Vine Lace Top Down Cardigan PDF Knitting
Pattern
This
is the cozy cardigan that you will reach for anytime
there is a chill in the air. It's knit on large needles
and from the top down for quick results and minimal
seaming.
Simple vine lace panels create a pretty accent
in the front, along with the uniquely gathered patch
pockets. A boldly defined ribbed waist, nicely shaped
generous collar, and slightly wide, easy sleeves
makes sure that this bulky knit is most flattering
to wear,
Lots of buttons down the front allow you to keep
warm or let the jacket hang loose.
And with the top-down design, you can adjust the
length of the body and sleeves as you see fit! This
sample has slightly shorter bracelet-length sleeves.
Just add a few rows for regular length sleeves.
Visit SweaterBabe.com for more detailed photos,
as well as yarn substitution suggestions.
The yarn used is Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky,
which comes in 79 gorgeous colors (at last count!).
See it discussed on the SweaterBabe.com
Blog.
