Lacewing Sleeve Cardigan
Lacy eyelets across the sleeves and back give this cardigan a delicate finish. The slightly cropped length and shaped waist make it an appealing layer over dresses or with high-waisted trousers.
- Lace detail on the sleeves and back
- A buttoned front and defined waist
- A rewarding project for knitters comfortable with shaping and eyelets

Make a tension sample in the stitch specified in your leaflet and adjust your needle size if needed. The pattern’s tension takes priority over the yarn-label reference.
