Paris Cardigan is a feminine cardigan knitted with a mix of lace patterning and stockinette stitch. It is worked seamlessly, beginning with the ribbed neckband, and continuing with the raglan-construction yoke, ending in a lace edge. Then sleeve stitches are held aside, to be finished after the body is completed. Ribbed edges finish the sleeves and the body.
