Craft: Knitting
This pattern is available on Ravelry.
Lizzie is the perfect little Summer cardigan; open, lacy and lightweight. Lizzie knits up quickly and simply in beautiful lush 5ply/sport weight yarns which provides the garment with a wonderful drape. This cardigan is simple and seamless with an interesting construction. Cables, lace and fluttery sleeves make for both textural and visual delight.
The lace is a fairly simple six stitch pattern, but tips are included in the pattern for those who are inexperienced or lacking in confidence with lace. Both charts and written instructions are included for the lace sections. Sizing is based on an upper chest measurement, not bust measurement.
NOTE
Two pdfs are available to download upon purchase. One is a digital version for use on iPads and other tablet and smart phone devices and computer screens. The second is a print version, ideal for those who like to print their patterns. It prints clearly in both colour and black and white. Read over the pattern carefully before printing, as you may wish to only print the pages that contain the actual pattern.
Lizzie is the grown-up version of Elizabeth.
