In the cold and dark winter months I really enjoy the evergreen plants in the backyard that add a splash of color when everything else is gray. They always remind me that better – and warmer – days are coming! The lace pattern in this cardigan echoes the shape of the evergreen leaves.

This cardigan is a great layering piece, more feminine and cozier than a blazer but elegant enough for festive occasions. The sleeves are wide enough to accommodate a long-sleeved shirt or blouse underneath.

The cardigan is knitted from the top down without the need for sewing. It is designed to be worn with little to zero ease around the bust and a little more width around the hips. Each size has been carefully designed for a good fit, and the pattern also includes several adjustment points with tips how to customize the fit for your figure.
