Polymer is a lace pattern cardigan worked top down in Raglan style. The front of the garment is kept open and the pattern comes with two options for either short or 3/4 sleeves.
Worked in a cotton blend yarn, I find Polymer the perfect companion for cooler autumn or spring days, when you just want to
throw something over.
The lace pattern is easy to remember, yet gives the cardigan an elegant look.
I-cord edges are either added directly or achieved by I-cord bind off.

To choose the size you want to knit, measure yourself first then decide how much positive ease you want to determine the size you need to follow.
