The Maybe One Day Cardigan is a whimsical lace cardigan that’s suitable for spring or summer. It features a cute tie instead of buttons. The panels are constructed sideways using a simple two pattern repeat. Then the panels are seamed together leaving a hole for the sleeve. Sleeves are crocheted directly onto the cardigan panel.
