Amarelle Cardigan

Description

Amarelle is a seamless cardigan worked from the top-down, starting with a large yoke covered in lace stitches and bobbles, forming an interesting design of leaves and fruits that is just as exquisite as the sour cherries it represents. Worked with DK or worsted weight yarn, this garment is fun challenge for lace lovers and will knit up quickly once the yoke is completed. The body and sleeves are worked in plain stockinette stitch, with decorative ribbing at the hem. The body can be made as long as desired, making it possible to create a crop-length cardigan or a longer one. The button and neck bands are worked all at once to enhance the subtle v-neck. Available in 14 sizes with a yoke pattern carefully designed for inclusive sizing, this pattern is a dainty project for anyone.
