Very pretty classic cardigan. Lace weight for warmer weather. The lace borders are a small challenge. They are worked separately and both written and charted instructions are included. The body is picked up from the border edge and worked entirely in one piece, including the sleeves and the selvage at the opening edge and around the V-neck. The only sewing is joining the lace armbands.
