Pretty Petal begs for a garden party or fancy-dress tea in the dappled shade with some favorite bears. A tracery of twisted stitches and mock cables grows top down from a circular yoke. Botanical lace ornaments the shoulders, hem, and cuffs, and a dainty row of pearly buttons enhances the vintage appeal. Choose a neutral shade to complement any outfit, a soft pastel for girlish charm, or even a bold red to suit a spirited personality. Worked seamlessly in Loft, this delicate beauty is a pleasure to knit and the perfect topper for special occasions.

CONSTRUCTION
The cardigan is worked from the top down beginning with the yoke. The body and sleeves are then divided and stitches cast on for the underarms. The sleeves are placed on hold and the body is worked to the hem. After the sleeves are completed, stitches are picked up along the fronts for the button band and buttonhole band. The collar is worked last.
