A simple cropped cardigan, with sizes for children and adults, is a perfect layering piece for warm weather! This cardigan knitting pattern begins at the bottom back, knitting up to the underarms, before the sleeves are cast on. Once the neckline is shaped, the fronts are separated to complete the knitting. A corded tie is used to close the cardigan at the top.

Lace pattern is both written out and charted.
