Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Winter 2009/10: “the linear quality of the wide ribbing that forms Hart’s long-sleeved buttoned cardigan, worked in ‘Aspire-tui’ by Zealana, is softened by the lace detailing at the waist, hemline, neck and cuffs.”

“Standard-fitting cardigan with eyelet insets and tapered sides.”
