Ecuador
This is a very light and drapey cardigan, worked with fingering yarn at a fairly loose gauge. It features an A-line shape, with draped fronts and a very simple lace pattern in the body. This pattern is absolutely seamless and it includes directions for a short-sleeved and a long-sleeved version.
It is based on another pattern of mine: Pole. So if you are familiar with that pattern, you will find the instructions very similar to it. Changes include:
- Different gauge
- Different collar
- Lace pattern in the body
- Set-in sleeves with short row shaping
