I love this feminine cardigan, with its body-hugging lace rib and wide neck opening and collar!

This cardigan is worked in one piece from the bottom to the armholes, then the fronts and back are worked separately to the shoulders. The sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked to the cuffs, with short-row shaping to shape the sleeve caps. You have a choice of short or long sleeves, so it’s great for all seasons.

The eyelet pattern is presented in both written and charted formats.
