Baby Cocktails’ Cassis is a cozy
women’s cardigan that’s easy to customize as you like. A reversible collar can
be folded back or draped inward and looks great either way. The casual shape
can be pinned closed or worn open, and the length is easy to adjust. Simple
lace on the front and back makes a flattering line and adds a little interest.
Knit from the top down with minimal shaping and no seams, Cassis is a cardigan
that’s easy to knit and to wear. This pattern contains instructions for both
worsted and Aran weight yarn, short or long sleeves, and options for hip or
long length. The lace patterns are charted and written out.
