The Willow Cardi is a textured, eye-catching cardigan that is worked flat in one piece, horizontally across the
body, beginning with the right cuff and ending with the left cuff. It is worked entirely in a feather and fan lace
pattern, changing colors/yarns, and creating wavy stripes. The sleeves and sides are seamed together to form
the body and both a bottom hem and an applied front neckline edging complete it. This is a wonderful design
for all levels of knitters, and a perfect piece for beginner lace knitters to shine.

The yarn needed to complete this project includes 2-3 skeins of Serenity and 6-11 skeins of Spun Cloud Light (required yarn amount varies upon size you make).
