#119 Eyelets and Lace Curved Hem Cardigan
Discover this beautifully feminine cardigan pattern that features a unique curved front hem, delicate eyelet detailing, and charmingly bell-shaped lace sleeves. This cardigan is not only stylish but also incredibly versatile, making it a must-have piece for your knitting collection.
The design is crafted using a top-down method, ensuring a seamless finish that allows for easy alterations of the sleeves to suit your personal style! The sample showcases elegant 3/4 length sleeves adorned with a lovely lacy leaf pattern, adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
The bottom hem of the cardigan is designed to be longer in the back, gracefully curving up at the front to create a flattering silhouette. A wide lace border is picked up and knitted from the top down, enhancing the garment's visual appeal. Additionally, the cardigan features button bands that are expertly picked up and knitted in a way that seamlessly integrates with the overall design. To complete the look, the cardigan is finished with exquisite leaf design horn buttons that perfectly complement the intricate lace details.
This stunning cardigan can serve as the centerpiece of your outfit or complement a beautiful dress effortlessly. If you prefer a lighter look, this pattern can also be transformed into a chic short-sleeved vest or cardigan! Simply bind off the sleeves just before reaching the eyelet lace section to create an easy, rolled-edge, short-sleeved version (check out the accompanying photo; detailed instructions are included in this pattern). This is an excellent option if you like a less dramatic sleeve or if you happen to run out of your stash yarn.
The sample was knitted using Knit Picks Swish Worsted yarn, providing a soft and cozy finish. If you’re seeking alternatives, suggested substitutes are listed below for your convenience. Embrace your creativity and elevate your wardrobe with this exquisite cardigan pattern, perfect for any season!
