ABOUT THE DESIGN
Leaf is a feminine cardigan with a lace section on body and sleeves.
The fit is slightly spacious and without decreases on the waistline. If you knit one size up compared to the size you normally choose, you will get a cardigan with a slight oversized and casual look.
The back and fronts are worked separately because of the slits in the seam on both sides, then the parts are joined together for one piece knitted back and forth on a circular needle till the bottom of the armholes.
The sleeves are worked in the round on dp needles or circ needles till the armhole.
The sleeves are joined together with the body for a raglan yoke and worked back and forth on circular needles.
The edges along the front and the neckline are worked last and along the neckline also a fine rouleau edge/closed rolled edge.
