Crocheted with lace weight yarn in Iris Stitch, this cardigan is elegant, refined, and deceptively simple. The two inset pockets are fascinatingly easy to work, and with minimal shaping on the neck edge of the front panels, and with center increases for the sleeves, the pieces work up easily and attach to each other like a dream. The upper-center gathering feature on the back gives a slight swing and ruffle to the reverse side of the sweater, but can be omitted if you prefer a perfectly straight back. This will be your go-to piece all spring, winter, and fall.
