PATTERN INFORMATION
Breeze is a light cardigan with a simple construction and interesting detail. It is casual and comfortable and, at the same time, feminine and flattering on ladies of all sizes.
I used my favorite cardigan construction with a shawl collar and open, flowing fronts that are perfect to show the lace pattern against a plain stockinette stitch background. The cardigan is seamless, worked from the top down.

Long tail and backward loop CO, stockinette and garter st, increases, decreases, working in the round, picking up sts.
