“Julka Cardigan” is a seamless overlapping-front cardigan with a feminine touch, interesting slanted shoulder construction, elbow-length sleeves and a delicate lace pattern on the Fronts.

The garment is worked from the top down, starting at the back with a long-tail cast-on. First, the Back is shaped with short rows to create a slanted shoulder line, then the stitches of the Back are worked down to the armhole, and placed on hold. Now, stitches for the Fronts are picked up one row in from the cast-on edge for an imitated shoulder “seam” look, and worked to the armhole, where the parts are joined and worked together down to the hem, which is finished with an i-cord edge. When the body is completed, sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes, the sleeves are worked in the round to an elbow length, and likewise finished with applied i-cord edging.

Back and sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch, the fronts in a lace pattern. Instructions for the lace pattern are charted and also completely written out.

“Julka” is the perfect cardigan for those hot summer days, to be paired with sleeveless dresses or T-shirt and shorts for a casually-elegant, but always feminine look. Make one in a cotton or linen blend to take out to the beach and boardwalk café, and another in your favorite glossy yarn to complement your evening dress. Smoother yarns with a clear stitch definition and careful blocking will bring out the best in the lace pattern.
