Yetta Cardi
Japanese lace panels and eyelet bands feature in the Yetta Cardi, a seamless, top-down, yoked cardigan with a casual vintage look. Knitted in fingering weight yarn, it is light and drapey. A great cardigan to wear with a dress or jeans.
Yetta Cardi was designed to use two speckled yarns but is also suitable for solid colours. No stranding is used.
The bands are worked in an eyelet lace pattern, with the eyelets doubling as buttonholes. Button placement can be decided after completion of the garment.
The pattern is fully written out but also includes a chart for the lace yoke panel, for optional use. Detailed descriptions of stitches are supplied
