A cropped lace cardigan with an unusual construction. It is cast on at the back hem, worked up and over the shoulders with stitches cast on for the sleeves, then down the fronts. Two simple seams and you’re done! The lace pattern is surprisingly easy and looks the same on both sides. Meant to be worn open, but you can also add ties or buttons to the sides for a wrap look. Perfect for a couple skeins of gorgeous sock yarn, and just the thing to throw on over a dress or t-shirt.
