Audrey In Unst
Audrey has been updated!
Audrey is a vintage-inspired, cardigan featuring a bib of Shetland lace. This cardi is knit seamlessly
and worked bottom-up with set-in sleeves. The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches at the
armhole and working short rows to shape the cap. Two options are provided for the lower body, a
fitted version with a deep ribbed hem or a longer A-line shaped version with a curved hem. There
are also two options for the sleeves, ¾ length or full length and two different neck treatments,
ribbed or I-Cord. If making adjustments to the length of the cardigan be aware that this will affect
the button band numbers so you may need to make adjustments there.
