From Knitty:
My daughter and I enjoy searching vintage stores for 1940s and 50s fashion. We love the flirty, feminine silhouettes and delicate prints. While designing Que Sera I was inspired by these outings.

Que Sera is a long sleeved, lacy cardigan with a vintage feel. It falls at mid hip and has a slightly scooped neckline. The body of this cardigan and the front bands are worked in one piece up to the armholes, it is then divided and the fronts and back are worked separately. The sleeves are worked separately and set in.

This versatile cardigan may be worn with zero ease as in the pattern photos for a fitted look, or looser with more ease for a casual look. It works equally well paired with well-loved jeans or a flirty spring skirt. In the modeled version glittery rhinestone buttons are added to lend to its vintage appeal.
