Early crocus and daffodils are welcome harbingers of Spring and beautiful botanical lace work frames this light cardigan reminding us that summer’s blossoms lie ahead. When temperatures start to climb, lighter weight layers are called for and this open cardigan will be one you reach for to throw over your shoulders for the perfect touch of comfortable warmth.

This sweater is knit flat from the bottom up, with set in sleeves and a collar that is created by picking up stitches along the finished neckline edge. The delicate lace is charted for ease and a schematic will make it easy to find the perfect size.
