Shaina Linen Knitting Kit

Pullover / Cardigan

This garment is made from four rectangular pieces - two for the front and two for the back. Each piece uses the same three lace stitch patterns. For the bottom, I chose a lace pattern that makes a horizontal line with a wavy edge, and the upper lace creates bold, vertical lines.

You can complete this piece as a pullover by seaming the center front or leave it open as a cardigan with no center front seam.

[CONSTRUCTION]

The top is made from four rectangular pieces (2 fronts and 2 backs). Seam center Backs, shoulders, and sides.
