Business in the Front
This cardigan is all party in the back. This was designed to make use of Neighborhood Fiber Company’s lovely Studio DK gradient and a coordinating color. The stretchy lace does away with the need for waist shaping. Color changes in the left sleeve and on the button placket and button band give a pretty, feminine touch to an otherwise business-like stockinette front.
