A little something to wear over your sleeveless dresses for modesty or warmth, this loose-fitting cardigan with narrow sleeves layers well. The openwork pattern highlights the fronts and continues onto the collar. While not written to be on the back, the gauge is the same as the Stockineete gauge, so you can use it on the back as well, if you’d like. It can easily be knit to any length to suit your needs.
