This cardigan is the perfect sweater for those upcoming crisp fall nights! It is a top-down, one-seam cardigan with lace panels down each side of the buttonbands. It features waist-shaping and set-in sleeves. The sleeves are knit from the arm-hole down and every row is clearly written for frustration-free knitting. The cuffs and hood are a complementary lace, and the cuffs double as fingerless mitts! A folded, picot-edged hem finishes the look. Please note that due to the fitted wrists on this sweater, it will be best to wear with a short-sleeve or tank top.
