Because a dear friend and knitter was in need of a new cardigan in her wardrobe, she challenged me to design it, so she could have a twin set. Of, course, challenge accepted!
To make it cosier, the sea-inspired lace panel is only featured in the sleeves.
As with the top, it presents a raglan shaping of the sleeves and is knit top down, in rows. Similarly to the top, the neckline has a garter stitch edging with an eyelets section, featured also in the waist hem. To complete this garment, the button band has an i-cord edge to make it more refined.
I used Pontinhos ao Vento Silk Merino hand-dyed yarn, a very soft silky yarn, that produces a thin and smooth fabric, with a fabulous stitch definition, making this garment very elegant and light.

To fit a bust circumference (cm) - 73.5 (83.5, 94, 104, 114, 124.5, 134.5, 144.5) cm
