Cropped, fitted and totally feminine, this rib and lace cardigan uses a silky yarn.

This cardigan by Bronagh Miskelly takes design cues from vintage styles. The cropped, V-neck body has ribbing that extends up to the bust, where it continues in stocking stitch. The raglan sleeves, meanwhile, use a delicate beaded lace stitch. Bronagh’s garment
is knitted in Milburn 4ply yarn from Eden Cottage Yarns, which blends Bluefaced Leicester wool and silk, and has a lovely sheen. It comes in a palette of soft shades.
