Discover the beauty of our V-neck cardigan pattern, expertly designed for knitters who love intricate lacework and comfortable wear. This cardigan is knitted from the bottom to the top, crafting its lovely body back and forth. The standout feature of this piece is the exquisite lace pattern that adorns the body, adding a touch of elegance to your wardrobe. The sleeves are uniquely constructed by picking up stitches and working them in the round using stockinette stitch, enhanced with a few short rows to create a beautifully rounded shape. To finish this stunning cardigan, a buttonhole band is meticulously picked up once the body is completed, ensuring that every detail is thoughtfully designed.
