The front edges and set-in sleeves have a panel of lace leaf motifs, and the back of the cardigan also features a wide panel of lace in the same motif. There is subtle waist shaping for a feminine, slightly trim fit.

Inspiration: This is my Taos Sheep and Wool Festival sweater. It’s an annual trip I take every year in early October, and as soon as I start to see the golden colors of the aspen groves across the valley on the mountain peaks, I know it’s time to start planning my trip to the festival!
