The Lotus Blossom Lace Cardigan is a lightweight cardigan, perfect for layering in the warmer months. It is constructed bottom-up using fingering weight yarn. You create your back panel and then your two front panels and seam them together. Then you work sleeves, if you choose to make sleeves, in turned rounds. The length of the cardigan is completely customizable, as are the sleeves.

My testers and I made cardigans ranging from duster length to shrug length, and sleeveless to 3/4 length sleeves.

The cardigan is graded for bust sizes 28”-66” and had a built in positive ease of 0-7”. The sizes are as follows:
Size 1: 27”-34” (70-85cm), finished bust of 34” (85cm)
Size 2: 35”-42” (90-105cm), finished bust of 42” (105cm)
Size 3: 43”-50” (110-125cm), finished bust of 50” (125cm)
Size 4: 51”-58” (130-145cm), finished bust of 58” (145cm)
Size 5: 59”-66” (150-165cm), finished bust of 66” (165cm)
