Tech edited by Eleanor Doyle.

A lightweight, go-with-everything cardigan in a classic shape, with the addition of just enough lace to make it interesting to wear and knit.

Worked in one piece up to the armholes, with set-in sleeves knit in the round, the only seaming is sewing the sleeves to the body.

The bottom edge of the body and the edges of the sleeves are hemmed to give a clean finished look. The collar is finished simply with attached i-cord. The button bands are knit as hems, so are double thickness and present a smooth stockinette face.

Errata (latest version will always have the corrections):
