Vermont Fiber Designs 107 Fir Cone Lace Cardigan PDF

The Fir Cone Lace Cardigan from Vermont Fiber Designs is beautiful on its own, or when paired with the Fir Cone Lace Shell. This cardigan is adorned at the bottom with Fir Cone Lace while the remainder of the sweater features columns of Ladder Lace. The cotton/wool blend yarn provides wonderful stitch definition so that every lace stitch is visible and can be admired. This cardigan is knit as one piece to the armholes, where the back and fronts are finished individually. Seams at the shoulders join the body and sleeves are knit flat and set in during finishing. Lace pattern is written out only.
