“Ariel” – a cozy, hooded cardigan with an all-over lace pattern and a front zipper. This relaxed-fit piece features a beautiful mesh texture created by holding a Sport weight yarn (like YarnArt Silky Royal) together with a lace mohair strand (like Alize Angora Gold), resulting in a soft halo and light, airy fabric. Worked flat in rows from the bottom up, the pattern includes three size groups: XS-S (~106 cm/41.7” chest width), M-L (~120 cm/47.2”), and XL-2XL (~136 cm/53.5”), all with a dropped shoulder and an easy, oversized silhouette.

The pattern provides detailed instructions for all sizes, a schematic, a photo tutorial for installing the zipper, and calculation tables for the hood and sleeves. We recommend basting the pieces together before final seaming to check the fit and adjust the length. A perfect project for intermediate knitters looking for a stylish and comfortable layering piece for spring and fall.
