Lacy Yellow Cardigan

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn, approximately 800 yards of light yellow
Size 8 (5.0 mm) knitting needles
4 pearl buttons (1 inch in diameter)
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

20 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch. To measure gauge, knit a swatch of 20 stitches and 28 rows, then measure the swatch to ensure it matches the gauge.

Abbreviations:

k = knit
p = purl
k2tog = knit two together
yo = yarn over
RS = right side
WS = wrong side
st(s) = stitch(es)

Cardigan Body:

Cast on 120 stitches. This will be the back width of your cardigan.

Row 1 (RS): k2, *yo, k2tog, k3; repeat from * to last 2 sts, k2.

Row 2 (WS): p all stitches.

Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for 20 inches or until the piece measures your desired length. This creates the lacy pattern.

Once the body is complete, bind off all stitches loosely.

Sleeves:

For each sleeve, cast on 50 stitches.

Work in the same lace pattern as the body for 15 inches. Bind off loosely.

Finishing:

Using a tapestry needle, sew the sleeves to the body of the cardigan. Center the sleeves and align the seam with the underarm area.

Attach 4 pearl buttons along the center front, ensuring there is a buttonhole on the opposite side for each button. You can make buttonholes by casting off 2 stitches then casting back on in the next row.

Weave in all your ends neatly with the tapestry needle.

Blocking:

To block your cardigan, gently wash it in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Lay it flat on a towel to dry, shaping it to measurements and smoothing out the lace pattern.

Optional Variations:

You can add a contrasting color for the button bands or change the yarn to a chunky weight for a cozier cardigan.
