This women’s cardigan sweater is knit from the top/neck down to the bottom hem. It features a pretty leaf lace pattern at the yoke and sleeve cuffs. After casting on and working the neckline, the lace yoke is worked with concentric increases to shape the top and shoulders. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the body is worked in stockinette. Once the body is completed, the sleeve stitches are picked up and are worked to the cuffs in stockinette. Simple garter stitch front bands complete the sweater.

Worked in a soft fingering-weight yarn (Wooly Wonka FIbers Aerten Sock at 435 yards/100 g skeins), you will need approximately 3 (3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5) skeins needed to knit pattern as written.

Note that the lace motifs are presented in CHART FORM ONLY. There are no written instructions for these motifs.
