Product Details

A glance back in time can provide all the inspiration we need to clothe our wee girls.This pattern has a pretty garter yoke, combined with delicate lace fronts, to create a vintage feel cardigan

My Aunt Doris has you cast on at the neckline, and work flat forming a rounded garter neck line, before working the lacework fronts, until you reach the required chest size.From here the arm stitches are put on to waste yarn (or a stitch holder), and the body finished. Once the body is completed, the sleeve stitches are returned to the needles and short sleeves worked in the round, with wee gathers on the upper arm.

Skills required

backwards loop cast on

knitting small circumferences in the round

long tail cast on

short rows in garter stitch

simple lace

working top down raglan construction

If you are not familiar with these techniques you may need to reference a knitting guide book, or view videos on the internet.

Lace work is only on the fronts of the cardigan, and is both written and charted
