Manos del Uruguay Licorice Lace Cardigan PDF

Licorice Lace Cardigan from Manos del Uruguay is a classic women’s sweater knit in Alpaca Heather, fingering weight and beautiful, naturally dyed yarn that combines softness and sturdiness. Licorice Lace Cardigan is a perfect year-round sweater to layer over a summer sundress or under a winter wool blazer. The back and fronts are worked separately from the bottom up and then seamed. The stitches for each sleeve are picked up around the armhole opening and then worked in the round to the cuffs. The lace patterns are in chart form only.
