Laura Chau Nilgiri PDF

Nilgiri by Laura Chau is a pretty cardigan with a geometric lace pattern. The unique stitch pattern is easy and fast to knit and great for a beginner lace knitter. The relaxed shape of this cardigan is perfect dressed up or down, and neat hems and garter stitch bands offset the lacy pattern. The body of Nilgiri is worked in one piece from the bottom up, beginning with a provisional cast on and knit-in hem. Sleeves are worked flat from the bottom to the underarm, then joined together with the body to work the seamless raglan yoke. Lacy Squares pattern is charted and written out.
