Named in honor of the two traditional lace patterns used, Leaf & Vine is an elegant, oversized cardigan with very short sleeves. It floats to just below the full hip in its full-length version, with a shorter version stopping just below the waist.

Worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, Leaf & Vine begins with a garter stitch border before moving into columns of lace panels. Vine Lace is used in the center back, sides and front edges and Trellis-framed Leaf Pattern (Trellis Lace) forms the rest of the fabric. Pattern repeats are manipulated to maintain symmetry across the garment.

Lace patterns are written and charted.
