1199 Equuleus - Cardigan Knitting Pattern for Women in Valley Yarns Westfield

Valley Yarns Equuleus is an elegant women’s cardigan knit in Westfield showcasing the lace panel on the fronts of this warm-weather jumper with a scoop neck, cropped length, and elbow-length sleeves. The jumper is the perfect piece over a summer dress or paired with jeans. Equuleus is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. Valley Yarns Westfield is a luxurious blend of Merino, silk, and yak in a versatile DK weight. Each of the fibers in Westfield takes the dye slightly differently, resulting in beautifully nuanced shades that will add depth to your jumper. The lace pattern is charted and written out.
