Description
Florescence Cardigan is your classic everyday cardigan, made dainty by growing lace leaves on the sleeves. The soft V opening, the straight line, the top-down raglan construction, the ribbing bands worked while knitting and the option of adding buttons or not are efficiently creating a basic cardigan that is the perfect canvas to showcase the sophisticated lace sleeves. These sleeves are sure to impress while being easier to knit than what they look like, even if you don’t have a green thumb! The cardigan, made in DK+lace or worsted weight, is available in 12 sizes and can be made as long as desired.
