Lace Boxy Cardi
Discover our stunning short-length boxy cardigan knitting pattern, perfect for showcasing your knitting skills while creating a fashionable piece for your wardrobe. This beautiful cardigan is knitted in three distinct pieces: a back and two front panels. The integral mid-length tapered sleeves add a modern touch to the classic design, making it an ideal layering option for any season.
The straight body of the cardigan features an exquisite lace pattern at the bottom edge, adding a delicate and enchanting detail that elevates this garment. The lace motif is also beautifully mirrored across the top of the body along the length of the sleeves, making it a standout piece in your knitted collection. The sweater is finished with a scooped neckline and a convenient one-button loop fastening, ensuring it's easy to slip on and off while providing a polished look.
This knitting pattern uses Louisa Harding's La Salute yarn, which combines 79% kid mohair and 21% nylon for a soft, luxurious feel. You'll need approximately 9 to 11 balls of yarn (each weighing 25g) to complete this project. For the best results, use 4mm straight needles (UK size 8, US size 6) and 3mm circular needles.
