Lace & Garter Stitch Cardigan

This cardigan showcases a beautiful combination of delicate lace work and textured garter stitch. Available in three sizes to fit chest measurements of 81–96 cm (32–38 in), 101–117 cm (40–46 in), and 122–137 cm (48–54 in), the finished garment chest measurements range from 111 cm to 186 cm (43¾ to 73¼ in). The cardigan features a length of 54–60 cm (21¼–23½ in) and sleeve length of 45–49 cm (17¾–19¼ in).

Techniques Used: The cardigan employs lace and garter stitch techniques worked flat on straight needles, with seaming to construct the finished garment. The lace pattern incorporates yarn overs, decreases (including ssk and k2tog methods), and slip stitch techniques to create openwork sections. Garter stitch provides textured contrast and structure to the design.

Stitches Used: Core stitches include knit, purl, yarn forward (yfwd and yfrn), yarn over (yon), slip 1 (sl 1), ssk (slip, slip, knit), k2tog (knit two together), psso (pass slipped stitch over), and slip 1, knit 2 together, pass slipped stitch over (sl 1, k2tog, psso). These decreases and yarn overs form the foundation of the lace pattern, while garter stitch (knitting every row) creates the textured sections.

Materials: The cardigan requires 12–19 balls of Debbie Bliss Dulcie yarn in 50g/1¾oz balls (color Heather 08), a pair of 7mm (US 10.5) knitting needles for the main fabric, and a 7mm (US 10.5) circular knitting needle (16 inches) for finishing. The tension is 16 stitches and 19 rows to 10 cm (4 in) over the lace pattern and 15 stitches and 26 rows to 10 cm (4 in) over garter stitch.

Yarn Fiber Content

The Debbie Bliss Dulcie yarn used throughout this collection is described as an exquisite blend of cotton and acrylic fibers. This combination produces a cloud-like fabric with exceptional stitch definition, making it ideal for displaying both lace openwork and textured stitches. The fiber blend offers the breathability and comfort of cotton with the durability and easy-care properties of acrylic.
