This slim-fitting cardigan features delicate ruffles at the lower edges and a pretty floral lacy border. A simple series of eyelets creates the illusion of soft ribbing, adding a gentle texture to the garment.

The waist shaping is worked with a smaller needle size rather than decreases. It can be omitted if desired.

The cardigan is worked flat in one piece to the armholes, where work is divided for armholes and fronts and back. Sleeves are worked flat. Shoulders and sleeve seams are sewn, then sleeve caps are sewn in. An edging is worked at the front opening and neck, and buttons are sewn on.

Note that I am now retired from knit design, but if you purchase the pattern and have any queries, you can reach me at siemens@sympatico.ca
