This gorgeously soft, top down, raglan cardigan features large
scale lace and cables running down the centre back to the
waist. A grown-on, seed stitch belt can either be tied in a large
bow at the back or to close the cardigan at the front. Mirror
image cables run down the fronts and continue on to the seed
stitch trim. There are subtle godets that shape the body from
the waist down where the back dips lower than the front with
some short row shaping. The sleeves have lace panels running
down the centre and the body is finished with a dramatically
cabled collar.
