Corset-Tied Cardi
The key to working clean, perfect post stitches is making sure you don’t have them placed near the beginning or end of a row or round. I specifically designed this cardigan so the shells are at the beginning and end of the rows so I didn’t need to fuss with chains at or around the post stitches.
The closure for this sweater is a set of simple chain ties. You could always add buttons - the holes in the lace fabric would work if you shop for just the right size. But the beauty of the chains is simplicity. I like how simple and sweet the ties look in a bow, but I love how it looks if you lace it up a few inches.
