About the Pattern
Lace Leaves Cardigan designed by Jennifer Owens
Lace Leaves Cardigan is worked from the top down and features a delicate lace and cable pattern along the fronts, a 2-button closure at the base of the V-neck, and a classic set-in sleeve silhouette with optional waist shaping. The sleeves and body are shaped together down to the armhole. The cardigan is worked with a strand of brushed alpaca silk and a strand of merino silk held together, creating a wonderful sheen and halo to the fabric.
