This lace cardigan is inspired by music and thoughts of a warm and sunny summer. Wear this cardigan on a cool summer evening over a dress (or your swimwear). The cardigan is knitted top down with a raglan. The “large eyelet” pattern predominates in this cardigan. Due to the open structure of the cardigan and the combination
of cotton and acrylic, the cardigan is warm and light despite its length.

About this pattern

  • The pattern is written in 7 sizes: size XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL);
  • The width of the cardigan appears smaller while knitting, because the eyelet pattern retracts diagonally towards the hand of knitting. The given measurements for the back width are measured after blocking;
  • Pattern construction: The main part of the cardigan is worked in rows, from the neck down. The stitches for the sleeves of the cardigan are worked up from the side of the armholes and are knitted in the round.
