Fitted
Lace Cardigan

really enjoy working from charts rather than text, and so that is how I
designed this pattern. The pattern will fit 34-38” bust.

Making
Up
Whilst
I’m usually too lazy to block pieces before making up, it is worth doing so for
this design. When all pieces are sewn together make a front border: with right
side facing pick up all sts./rows down one half of the neck and front, work 10
rows in garter st. Cast of with a crochet hook, working 3 d.c.
into st. where neck shaping begun on the front. Do the same for the other side.
Sew on poppers (which I used) or hooks, as desired.
