ROSEBUD LACE CARDIGAN
|
|
|
This sweater is knit in a 12-ply (aran wt.) mohair/wool Heirloom yarn, called Aristocrat. I usually write up my patterns very soon after knitting the garment, but I've worn this sweater for many months before getting to the pattern, and it has become one of my favorites! Why? It's warm and yet lightweight.
The cardigan also uses Heirloom Yarn's Easy Care 12-ply wool yarn for the button bands and collar, for comfort against sensitive necks and for ease in buttoning.
The lace patterning is simple rose motifs scattered loosely about the cardigan, so as not to detract form the sweater's warmth, yet, still lend a romantic air. The twisted stitch cabling at cuffs, collar and lower edge add textural interest.
