Inspired by the wardrobe of the designer’s favorite television character, the Clara Cardigan is a tunic length cardigan featuring a lace pattern on the sleeves. It contains saddle sleeves to allow for the lace pattern to appear not only on the cuffs, but also at the shoulders to add more detail. For an added challenge, a provisional cast on is used, as the saddle sleeves are worked top-down, while other pieces are worked in a bottom up fashion.

Errata:

NOTE: The # is used on Rav instead of a star for clarity because their web code turns everything between the stars to italic…

Repeat these 20 rows to establish lace pattern.
