This is a very beautiful cardi. It has the lace collar continuing down the fronts, and a slip stitch/broken rib pattern on the fronts and back, side detail and the back pleats in the peplum. With rows of over 300 stitches and all the patterning going on, this is not a quick knit. It will be worth the work!

-did not do last 3 sets of increases for front and back. Ended up at sleeve split with 37/40/74/22/64

• sleeve - 60 rows past last increase start cuff.

After a year of neglect I picked this up again Jan. 3, 2018. Hurrying towards the end. 302 stitches before the final back increases.

• only got to 16 purls at the back peplum, as already long enough, plus running out of yarn.
• had to use a few yards of a similar yarn to finish off the icord bind-off.
