Brushed Lace Cardigan
Pattern description from Interweave Knits, Winter 2007: “The brushed lace cardigan uses contrast for impact: Cathy Payson uses airy, biasing feather-and-fan panels to add movement and soften a geometric silhouette; brushed alpaca yarn to blur bold stripes; and large shell buttons to refine simple garter-stitch edgings. The bias lace fabric skims curves, creating a slightly fitted look even without shaping.”
