Rosebud Lace Cardigan, PDF pattern

About the Design

The simple rose lace motifs are scattered loosely about the cardigan, so as not to detract from the sweater’s warmth, yet, still lends a romantic air, while the twisted stitch cabling at cuffs, collar and lower edge add textural interest to an easy-to-wear sweater.

This sweater is knit in a 12-ply (aran wt.) mohair/wool Heirloom yarn, called Aristocrat – creating a warm, and yet, lightweight sweater.

The cardigan 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.
