The Blue Moment Cardigan features a delicate circular yoke with a lace pattern throughout. The cardigan is slightly cropped but the length can be modified as the cardigan is worked from the top down. The body has no shaping but the sleeves are shaped with decreases.

This pattern was originally published in my book Contrasts - Textured Knitting. The pattern is now finally available as an individual purchase.
