Spyder Silk Lace Cardigan
Discover the beauty of lace knitting with our exquisite draping lace cardigan pattern. This delicate cardigan features stylish 3/4 length sleeves, a narrow rib front edging and neckband, and options for charming patch pockets and a lovely ribbon closure. Perfect for layering, this versatile piece will enhance any wardrobe and can be dressed up or down for various occasions.
The construction begins with the lower edging, expertly crafted first, before picking up stitches for the body, which is worked flat in one continuous piece up to the armholes. This design includes a ribbed section at the waist adorned with eyelets, through which a beautiful ribbon is threaded, adding an extra touch of elegance. The sleeves follow the same technique, ensuring a seamless and polished finish.
Featuring intricate lace patterns arranged in stunning panels of Leaf Shadows and Shetland Leaves, this cardigan will truly showcase your knitting skills. It's important to note that the stitch number for the *Leaf Shadows* pattern varies from row to row; therefore, this design is best suited for those who have some experience with lace knitting. However, if you have a helpful knitting buddy, you can take on this challenge with confidence!
This gorgeous garment was designed using The Natural Dye Studio’s Spyder Silk, a luxurious 100% silk yarn that is unfortunately no longer available. As an alternative, we recommend BCGarn Jaipur Silk Fino, which offers a similar quality. For additional yarn suggestions, be sure to check out www.yarnsub.com. Just remember to always check your tension to ensure the perfect fit and appearance of your lace cardigan.
