A feminine cardigan designed to flatter a wide range of figures. The lacy rib welts draw in the body to show off your waist without the complication of waist shaping.
The double collar is designed to flatter your cleavage without being too obvious.
This pattern is worked in one piece up to the armhole before working the sleeves and then joining all the pieces together to decrease the raglan yoke.
The ribbed collar is then worked by picking up stitches from the V neck and the neckline. The lace collar is worked separately and then stitched into place after blocking.
