Cardigan with Silk +
I wanted to have a very long cardigan in my wardrobe. Something that looks special, but easy to wear with my daily wardrobe. Using a lace pattern with stockinette stitch gives a lighter look but has still good structure for a longer top.
The Body is worked with no shaping. The V-neck in the back is a focal point of this design. Knitted from the top down.
