Rosebud Lace Cardigan
About the Design:
The simple rose lace motifs are scattered loosely about the cardigan, so as not to detract from the sweater’s warmth, yet, still lends a romantic air, while the twisted stitch cabling at cuffs, collar and lower edge add textural interest to an easy-to-wear sweater.
This sweater is knit in a 12-ply (aran wt.) mohair/wool Heirloom yarn, called Aristocrat – creating a warm and yet lightweight sweater.
The cardigan uses Heirloom Yarn’s Easy Care 12-ply wool yarn for the button bands and collar, for comfort against sensitive necks and for ease in buttoning.
