This cardi is like a cloud! Soft, feminine, romantic. So easy to wear. It is as beautiful in the back as in the front - with it’s lace-patterned yoke, lace-edgings and buttonbands, it’s ribbed waist that is so flattering. Another sophisticated detail is that sleeves lace-edges are just opposite the upper waist-rib - this makes a beautiful effect. You can wear it all year round, as it is the perfect cardi to bring for a chilly summer evening, beautiful as a layering piece for winter - cozy in front of the fireplace as well as for reading in bed!
It gives any outfit that feeling of romance, elegancy and luxury!
I was amazed to see how fast this cardi knitted up, despite the lightweight of the yarn and the smaller needles.
Length is very short - only 47 - 50 cm/18,5 - 20inches, therefor every piece takes a short time to knit.
Pattern is both a written-pattern and a chart. No difficult st.
If you master yo, k2tog, sl1k1psso there should be no difficulties mastering the knitting.
