Dewdrop cardi is a delicate, lightweight cardigan, ideal for those fresh summer mornings (or evenings).

Worked top-down and completely seamless, this cropped cardigan in lace weight avers to be a quick, easy knit with some exciting elements. The dropped stitches flatter the waist and the lace edgings are finished by some dewdrop shaped beads (optional).

The cardigan is finished by an I-cord edging at the fronts and neck and 1 buttonhole worked in the I-cord.
