On cool spring evenings, this casual, oversized topper makes an excellent layering piece, and is perfect for knitters wanting to try a first lace project. Valley Yarns Goshen’s easy-care blend of cotton, modal, and silk makes it packable and comfortable for 3-season wear. Two rectangles, seamed together to form sleeves, front, and back, make this oversized cardigan a quick and easy project. With elbow-length lace sleeves and stockinette stitch body, a boat neck, and a button front, it’s designed to be a casual weekend favorite. Stitches are picked up from the front edges for button bands, and around the neckline for the neckband.
