Elixir Cardigan

This lightweight, loose-fitting cardigan is the layering solution for multi-seasons. Estonian lace patterns keep this cardigan airy. It is worked seamlessly from the bottom up in one piece. Button bands are worked at the same time as the sweater for minimal finishing. Stitches are picked up around the armhole for the sleeves, then short-rows are used to shape the sleeve caps. The rest of sleeve is worked in the round to the cuff.

Intended to be worn with 5-9”/12.5-22.5 cm positive ease
