Lace Cardigan

On April 21, 2010, in cardigan, Cayuga Cardigan, lace, by Anna

The Lace Cardigan is finished!  Since I don’t have company at the moment, I can’t model it.  So only have a picture of the cardigan on a hanger.  But I’ll rectify that later – I promise.

This lace cardigan is my own design, and used only two skeins of Skinny Bugga! from the Sanguine Gryphon (for size 36″).  I was surprised that I only needed two (I had FOUR to play with, so now I have to dream up another project with the other two skeins).  But the yardage was very generous, and I even had a little bit left-over from the two skeins.

The body of the cardigan is knit in one piece up to the armholes.  It is then separated and you knit the back first, and then each of the fronts.  The small lace edging along the front wraps around the collar.  The sleeves are set-in sleeves, and knit flat starting at the lace cuff.  It’s basically an adult size version of the cardigan I knit for my daughter last fall, with a few modifications and improvements.
