#102 Drape-Front Top-Down Lacy Cardigan
Introducing our elegant top-down, draped-front lace cardigan, a must-have addition to your knitting wardrobe that promises to be one of your most versatile pieces. This cardigan features beautifully knitted front sections in a stunning wavy lace design, which beautifully echoes the way the fabric flows when left open. Alternatively, with the stylish use of a shawl pin closure, you can easily adjust the front to suit your mood and the climate, making it perfect for year-round wear.
This cardigan is not only functional but also highly adaptable. Drape it, gather it, or let it hang askew—there are endless styling possibilities! You can fasten it just so with the shawl pin (the Bird Shawl Pin, shown here, is an exclusive design from www.DesignsbyRomi.com), allowing you to create a look that is uniquely yours.
Our sample is carefully crafted in Knit Picks Swish DK yarn, which provides a cozy yet lightweight feel. If you're looking for alternatives, some suggested substitutes are displayed below to accommodate your personal preferences.
This cardigan features gently belled sleeves that not only add a touch of elegance but also showcase a single panel of delicate lace, perfectly complementing the draped front. Shaping at the waist enhances the feminine silhouette, ensuring that it flatters a variety of body types.
Ribbed edgings at both the bottom edge and sleeve edges provide a delightful contrast to the unfinished edges at the neckline and front, highlighting the unique textural combination that makes this cardigan truly stand out. This intricate mix of textures and styles keeps this lace cardigan interesting and ensures it will remain a beloved staple in your collection for years to come.
Enhance your knitting skills and enjoy the process of creating this beautiful piece with our detailed pattern, suitable for knitters of all levels! Whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or simply adding a cozy layer to your everyday outfit, this versatile cardigan is the perfect solution.
