Dawn Catanzaro’s Estuary cardigan features fluttery, open fronts with a beautiful lace motif that is so pretty, yet so simple to work. Knitted in from the bottom up in pieces that are seamed together, this sweater uses the crochet method, which makes seaming in a laceweight yarn like Piper easy as pie.
