Light, airy and made for layering, the Lace Cardi is an open-front cardigan with an all-over diamond lace pattern and three-quarter sleeves. Knit in Patons Eleanora, the long colour changes for a piece that works just as well over a singlet in summer as it does with a tee on cooler days.

Knit from the bottom up, with the body worked back and forth in one piece to the armholes before dividing for the fronts and back. Sleeves are knit flat and the garment is seamed. Featuring a diamond lace pattern throughout, provided as both a chart and written instructions, with integrated rib front bands that continue up to join at the back neck. Advanced skills required to keep the lace pattern correct while shaping the armholes, front slopes and sleeve caps. Model wears size M.
