Speedwell Cardigan

Instructions to make a crochet lace cardigan, worked in traditional fish scale stitch, with elbow length sleeves.
Made with three pieces – two front sections and a back section.

The bamboo yarn gives a silky and airy feel. Lovely over summer dresses, or jeans and a t-shirt.

You will need DK yarn and a 5mm hook.
The yarn used in the pattern is King Cole Bamboo DK but you can use any DK yarn.
