Lala
Lala is a romantic lace cardigan worked seamlessly top-down. It starts with working the back of a shawl collar and then picking up stitches for the back and sleeves from the edge of the collar. The sleeves are worked with raglan increases, and the button bands are worked at the same time with the rest of the body. The lace has both charted and written instructions at the end of the pattern. Please note that when working flat, all WS rows are purled. When working the sleeves in the round, all even rounds are knitted
