LACE CARDIGAN

Knit Simple Spring/Summer 2011 #18
Design by Karen Garlinghouse

It may appear intricate, but the openwork on this elegant cardigan vest is merely a six-row lace pattern that self-scallops the lower edge. The multidirectional effect on the back is achieved by sewing two upper lace panels horizontally to the lower body piece.
