Product Description

This cardigan is lush and lacy, with beautiful detailing throughout. Wide diamond lace panels emerge from the 2 knit-in front pockets. The back features a ruffled peplum design that is echoed in the gorgeous elbow-length sleeves. Shaping is done within the Narrow Reverse Stockinette stitch panels bordering each lace panel to accentuate the sexy shape. See a larger picture of the cardigan front below.

The cardigan is finished with 6 antique glass buttons and a curved garter stitch collar. Simply stunning and incredibly unique design. As wonderful to make as it is to wear!

  1. lovely pattern.

    Posted by Noleen. on 11th Nov 2013

    What a fabulous pattern to knit. I have finished the back and left side and now onto the right side. So far have found instructions easy to follow. Not sure if I will do flutter sleeves or start pattern from beginning of cuff. Put pockets in as they look okay in pictures and will be handy. Looking forward to knitting other patterns I have purchased. Don't often knit with worsted weight as this is equivalent to 10ply in NZ, most of our knitting is done in 8ply.
