Named after the Irish word for spring, Earrach is a lightweight cardigan perfect for lengthening warmer days. Lace panels set in Stockinette Stitch create interest in an otherwise simple garment.

The body is worked flat in one piece from the bottom up, then fronts and back are split and worked separately. Sleeves are worked flat. Neckband and button bands are picked up separately to finish. Stitch patterns are both written and charted.

Sample is 39” size; model is 33.5” bust
