Twinset tank and cardi are two complimentary patterns that both use lace edging detail-the tank at the bottom, the cardigan on the sleeves.

This cardigan has a top down, raglan construction, with lace detail on the three quarter sleeves to match the tank. A single button and garter stitch edging compliment the simple but elegant design.

Worked on a circular needle in the round, but not joined, there are no seams and the sleeves are knit separately in the round after the body is completed.

Our samples are knit in dk weight yarn, Gedifra Cuor di Cotone in 100% supima cotton but any cotton, cotton blend or even wool would work equally well.
