BabyCocktails Cassis PDF

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.
