Yikes! I had some math errors, but hopefully, it is all fixed in the latest version. 10/2019

It’s the little details that make a Boxwood garden special. Properly trimmed hedges, tidy lines, and of course a lovely green boxwood. This lace sleeve cardigan embodies the best bits of a boxwood hedge. Strong geometric lace lines, a top-down raglan with little seaming, a short-row shawl collar, and buttons make this gorgeous green yarn pop. This sweater is meant to be worn with 1 inch of ease, but feel free to adjust the ease by knitting a larger or smaller size or adjusting your needle size to alter your gauge.
