This lightweight cardigan features a beautiful leaf design along the center back, with lace details echoed on the front panels as well.

Worked seamlessly, with subtle waist shaping and easy-to-wear ¾ length sleeves, you will reach for this sweater time and time again!

Finished with a garter stitch border and delicate picot trim around the stand-up collar.

This is an intermediate pattern - you need to be able to work in pattern while increasing/decreasing, pick up stitches and work short rows.

Pattern Notes
• When measuring for length from cast on edge, use the 1x1 ribbing edge, as the Leaves pattern sits lower.
• Cardigan is worked in one piece from the border to the armholes, then fronts/back are worked separately to the shoulders. Sleeves are picked up and shaped using short rows. Finally, the front borders and collar are picked up and worked at the same time.
