A lovely wrap cardigan made with lace weight doubled and worked at a DK gauge. This makes it the perfect weight cardigan for the spring. Of course if you want a warmer cardigan you can always use a DK yarn. The sample is made with Yarn Collective’s Portland Lace, a wonderful soft yarn that comes in gorgeous hand dyed colors. Auden means old friend and I am sure this cardigan will became as dear as an old friend.

Notes:
This drop shoulder pullover is constructed seamlessly from the top down. It begins with the garter stitch collar, which later becomes the wide front bands. Stitches are cast on and picked up for the back and fronts, which are worked separately in stockinette down to the underarm, where all are joined. The body features garter pleats which complement the collar and front bands and create flared shaping down to the garter hem. Stitches are picked up around the armholes to work the sleeves from the top down.
The length of the body and sleeves is easily adjusted.
Hold 2 strands of yarn together throughout pattern. A DK weight yarn may be used in place of two lace weight yarns.
