Effervescence is a gorgeously feminine cardi that comes with a matching bag. It is worked flat from the bottom up, with the sleeves being joined in prior to the raglan shaping. It requires very little finishing off, as it has no seams.

It features a lace work hem and eyelet detail throughout the body & sleeves, which then gets sparcer until the design is eventually worked in stocking stitch. The sleeves feature ribbon lacing to join them together.

The pattern is written, with charts for the ‘Effervescence Pattern’ on both the sleeves & body. Included are photos to assist with putting the garment & bag together. The bag is seamed with an I-cord handle and has fabric lining as well.

The bag is trimmed with a crochet flower.

All sizes require 2 balls of 200g of Bendigo Woollen Mills Rondo.
The bag requires 2 balls of 50g Cleckheaton Country Naturals.
