A four-row lace pattern creates a pretty edge at the hem and neck of this cropped cardigan designed for the #5317 Snuggly Soothing DK brochure by Sirdar. After the length of lace is worked and the stated number of stitches are picked up, the rest of the body is worked as one piece to the armholes, then the back and fronts are worked separately. The set in sleeves are each knit bottom up as one flat piece before seaming. The neck lace trim is finally worked before sewn in as the collar.
