I love the women Stevie Nicks writes about. Elusive, wild, and independent. Gold Dust Woman is one of those songs that has always found me when I need a little of that wildness and that sense of adventure. I wanted a lace pattern as hypnotic as Stevie’s voice, a shape that’s easy to wear, and a finished cardigan that might make me feel as badass as the original Gold Dust Woman. Worn with a little positive ease, this is the perfect sweater for new adventures.

This cardigan is worked from the bottom up in one piece until the underarms, at which point the fronts and back are worked separately and joined at the shoulder. Sleeves are worked from the cuff up and attached to drop shoulders.
