Add a touch of elegance to your wardrobe with this cardigan. Wear it open for a little warmth in the evening or buttoned over a skirt or jeans; however you wear it, Laced Leaves
will create a distinctive and versatile outfit. Knit from the top down, this cardigan combines a simple lace stitch with cabled ‘leaves’. Because it’s worked on large needles, it will be finished before you know it! The deep ribbed waistband adds definition and shape to the cardigan without any need for additional shaping.
