Add some romance and elegance to a typical day by layering your outfit with this open front cropped lace cardigan !

Belle is worked flat (back and forth)from the top down with raglan shaping and is practically seamless. A circular needle is used to
accommodate the large number of stitches. I would suggest using a different colored marker for BOR.

Note: This pattern requires the knitter to work from a chart.
