Lock & Key Cardigan is a hip-length cardigan with a pretty scalloped lace edging and deep V-neck. The curvy silhouette is gently nipped at the waist and flared from waist to hem. The lower body is worked flat in one piece and sleeves worked in the round, then joined to work the seamless raglan yoke. A knit-on garter stitch button band provides a tidy finish.
