This romantic little cardigan is a great way to use those few skeins of a precious yarn.
Knitted in one piece from the top down using larger needles, the bodice works up quickly in a 1x1 rib pattern.

The pretty lace pattern used for the body is a simple 6 row repeat. The ¾ length sleeves have a bit of flare for a feminine touch. Make your own and turn heads!

This is an intermediate pattern, you need to know how to do increases and follow a pattern.
