DESIGN

Filipa Carneiro

This cardigan is worked top-down, seamlessly, using the contiguous method. Begin by working the neckband, then pick up sts and work the fronts and back simultaneously. Following a contiguous construction, work the shoulder increases first, then the sleeve increases. At the armhole, separate the sleeve sts and continue working the body in one piece. Finally, return to the held sts and work the sleeves top-down. The lace pattern is shown in charts only.
