Lace Argyle Cardigan

This exquisite lace cardigan, crafted from the finest Jamieson & Smith 2ply Shetland Lace, was originally featured in The People's Friend in 2003. Designed to be knitted flat, this charming piece showcases an array of intricate details, including twist rib, delicate lace, and cable panels. The cardigan also boasts set-in saddle shoulders and a thoughtful short section of raglan shaping at the back neck, providing both comfort and style. Additionally, the picot neck edge adds an elegant finishing touch, while the front closure features buttons picked up at right angles to the fronts for added sophistication.

Included in the downloadable PDF pattern is not only the cardigan but also a jumper version, which has not been published before. Despite its elaborate appearance, this lace cardigan is surprisingly accessible for knitters of all skill levels. With no armhole shaping required and lace panels that incorporate fairly simple stitches, it serves as an ideal project for those new to lace knitting, making it an excellent choice for a budding lace enthusiast.
