Peacock Eyes Cardigan
If you purchase 5 of my self-published designs at the same time (they need to be in the same cart), you will get the least expensive for free!
Peacock Eyes Cardigan is a seamless cardigan worked from top to bottom all in one piece. It features a round yoke which is beautifully ornamented with lace motifs resembling the eyes on a peacock’s tail.
The cardigan is suitable for wool blends as well as cotton ones. Solid and semi-variegated yarns are highly recommended in order to show the unique beauty of the lace yoke.
The pattern is available as a single download and also as a part of "On a Peacock's Tail" e-book.
Many thanks to Nathalie, knucna for French translation, Susanne, Shannara13 for German version and Maria Mariafatima, for the Portuguese one. Thank you girls so much!
