PATTERN INFORMATION
The Starflower Wrap is a cropped wrap sweater or “ballet cardigan” with a stockinette body and lace sleeves featuring the Estonian Starflower stitch. A perfect blend of nature and knit, this wrap is an excellent choice for knitters who enjoy the meditative quality of simple stockinette and the rhythm of lace. The wrap is worked flat from the bottom up with drop-shoulder sleeves that are picked up and knit in the round. The double-knit waist belt is knit to the CO edge at the end of the project to provide a nice, tidy finish. Perfect to use as a cover-up on a breezy day or simply paired with a skirt or jeans, this versatile wrap is a great addition to any knitter’s spring and summer wardrobe.
