Leaves Cardigan is a sweet little cardigan with a touch of lace. It’s a quick knit and has just enough details to be interesting all the way to the last stitch. Leaves is that perfect little go-to sweater that looks equally good dressed up or down — wear it with jeans or fancy dresses.
 
Leaf lace trails down the fronts and the center back before flowing into a notched V that allows for freedom of movement and adds a bit of flow to the fabric. It’s easy to make the sleeves longer or shorter too.
 
Construction is top-down, totally seamless, and with a raglan yoke. It can be tried on to ensure a good fit and avoid unfortunate surprises at the end! The loose fit and waist/high hip length makes it a flattering fit for many body types.
 
Choose your favorite sleeve length (3/4 or long) and between a purl edging to match the hem finish or a more classic twisted ribbing.
