Broomstick Cardigan

Broomstick lace looks so chic, works fast (especially with bulky weight yarn) and it’s texture is simply fantastic. The length of the cardigan and sleeves is easy adjustable, so you can make it longer or shorter as well. It can be worn as a coat too, just choose to make it with some very warm yarn like wool or alpaca.
