Leaves and branches are pure enchantment in this light weight lace and ribs cardigan.

Knit flat in one piece from the bottom to underarms then joined with the sleeves (knit in the round) and worked all together to the neckline. The raglan decreases are not straight slants, but are shaped specific to each size for a lovely fit.

Wear it buttoned to the side, or let it fall open into a casual waterfall.
