The Patrician Cardigan uses a lush mohair/silk blend to make a simple waist-shaped cardigan into something really special with three applications of romantic Sawtooth lace - two densities of ruffle in the peplum and flat edging on the sleeve.

Starting with a provisional cast on, the sweater is worked from the bottom up in one piece then divided for set in sleeve armholes, with the edging added in a seamless join. With festive details in a warm and quick knit mohair, the Patrician Cardigan makes a perfect holiday sweater!
