Modern and fashionable, this lace cardigan is an exploration of a single stitch pattern worked with different stitch counts. The body is knit in three pieces, which are joined in the finishing stage. A unique false placket detail on the sleeves creates continuity with the band detail, making this sweater a timeless beauty you’ll be proud to show off.
