The lush greenery of Kellynch Hall, so dear to Anne Elliot, inspired this fingering-weight cardigan. Waist shaping keeps it close to the body, three-quarter sleeves make it seasonless, and two sizes of leaf lace pattern decorate the round yoke. Buttonbands are worked as you go, complemented by garter-stitch hems and collar.
