This cropped lace cardigan goes great over dresses and skirts - or just a tee and jeans! The body is worked in one piece to the underarm, then joined with the elbow-length stockinette sleeve to work a seamless raglan yoke.

The cardigan was designed in collaboration with Miss Babs for their Summer Collection for Maryland Sheep and Wool 2017.
