Cabo Cardi

This exquisite cardigan pattern combines a unique lace design with a comfortable cotton/linen blend, resulting in a fabric that is both stylish and practical. It's important to note that this fabric is expected to grow in length by approximately 20% after a few wears. The gauge specified above is measured after blocking but does not account for wear over time. Therefore, the measurements provided in both the diagram and the pattern are intentionally designed to be shorter to accommodate this natural growth.

Now, let’s delve into the construction details of this lovely cardigan. This pattern is crafted in one continuous piece, starting from the back hem and extending to the beginning of the neckline. At this point, the work is split to create both front sides separately. Notably, the design does not include any shaping, as the drawstring feature at the waist allows for effortless adjustment at the end of the project. After completing the main knitted portion, simply fold it in half and sew up each side seam to finish your creation.

ERRATA:
Please be aware that earlier versions of this pattern included a chart that was mistakenly one stitch too wide. However, rest assured that the written instructions for the vining lace pattern are correct. If your copy of the pattern features a 9-stitch chart, please cross out the column for stitch 1 and adjust accordingly to ensure accurate knitting.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just beginning your crafting journey, this cardigan pattern is a fantastic project that will enhance your wardrobe with its elegant style. Get ready to enjoy the blend of comfort and fashion with this timeless piece!
