DESCRIPTION
The Romantic cardigan features a mix of beautiful yet easy lace and stockinette stitch. Definitely a great starting point if you’ve never knit lace!

Knitted flat from the top-down, the cardigan starts with a dropped-shoulder construction, and the sleeves are set-in seamlessly,
Instead of ribbing, The Romantic’s borders (including the button band) are double-knit.

The beautiful mix of lace weight yarn and mohair gives the garment a very light and airy quality.
Enjoy!
