PATTERN NOTES
Ironworks is a lace sampler cardigan with three beginner-friendly lace panels on the body and optional lace cuffs. It has a seamless, top-down raglan construction and a super cozy, romantic vibe.

The cardigan is cast on at the back of the neck and worked flat in one piece to the hem. The sleeves are worked in the round from the underarm to the cuff, and the front edging can be made as an open front or with buttons. Lace instructions are both charted and written.

Ironworks is a sweet spot knitting project with just enough stockinette to be relaxing, and just enough lace to be interesting.
