Pattern Notes
This cardigan begins with a garter tab cast on. The garment back is worked from a two-colour lace chart, shaped with paired yarnover increases around a central spine. When the back is complete, the right shoulder, scye, and front are shaped and the shoulder joined with a three needle bind off. After the left shoulder, scye and front are worked to match the right, a garter stitch and i-cord edging is picked up all around the neck and front opening. The sleeves are worked top down, and finished with a garter stitch and i-cord cuff.
