Sweet sparrow cardigan is a wrapped over lace stitch pattern cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves with wide decorative collar band. It is worked bottom to top. Wide cardigan edge band is worked separately from cardigan: it means that cardigan is knitted first and later neck band which is sewed to cardigan with a tapestry needle. Because this cardigan is wrapped it fits well for summer cool days together with dress or jeans.
