Fir Cone Lace Cardigan #107
When I first found this beautiful Fir Cone Lace pattern, I thought it would be wonderful in a graceful twin set. In designing the cardigan, I decided to pair the Fir Cone Lace with a similar, more vertical lace pattern. So I dropped all but 2 rows of the original stitch pattern and voilà! – the Ladder Lace was born! Wear this cardigan over the matching shell which inspired it (Pattern 106).
This cardigan is worked in one piece from the bottom to the armholes, then the front and back are worked separately to the shoulders. The sleeves are worked flat from the bottom up, then sewn in.
The lace pattern is presented in charted format only.
