Old Shale Lace Cardigan
by marianna mel
This is a very sweet little cardigan for little girls.
Ideal for pre-school toddlers.
The Old Shale Lace stitch pattern on the lower part is easier to knit than it looks !
’Old Shale’ is a traditional Shetland lace knitting pattern ~ it was probably originally called ‘Old Shell’.
It gives a pretty, lacy effect - no wonder it is so popular
Sizes:
23” chest, approx age 1 - 2 years
25” chest, approx age 3 - 4 years
Knitted from the top down.
There is a choice of long or short sleeves.
Requires:
DK yarn
4mm needles
3 or 5 buttons
So pretty!
