Mink Hollow Cardi
This yarn begged me to knit it into something with fabulous
drape. Starting with the centre back cable, stitches are picked
up for each side and worked in one piece around to the front
edges. Sleeves are worked down from “live” stitches and
finished with a super-simple lace trim to match the fronts. Wear
open and flowy or use a shawl pin to close the fronts at the
shoulder or waist. The perfect cardi for sultry, Summer nights.
