Pattern written in standard US terms.

The Summerlin Cardi is the perfect introduction to lace knitting with a simple 4-row repeat. It features a slightly cropped fit, short sleeves, and a subtle lace stitch that’s full of texture with small diamond-shaped eyelets throughout the garment.

Pattern is knit flat from bottom up, beginning with the back panel. The front panels are continued top down, with the back neck sts placed on a holder. Sts are picked up for sleeves and front ribbing detail. The body is then seamed using mattress stitch.

Available in 9 sizes: XS S, M, L, XL - numbers in pattern correspond to sizes, respectively.

Model is 5’6” and wearing size Small. Bust-Waist-Hip: 32-25-34”

PATTERN NOTES

• Pattern was designed with positive ease of 6-8” around the bust
• Length can be modified by knitting more or less rows. Keep track of total rows to match the front and back panels.
• Row count is given as a guide. If row gauge differs from pattern gauge, follow suggested measurements instead.
