Morning | Texture & Lace Cardigan

$10.00

Design Information

Morning is a mid-thigh length cardigan worked in a texture and lace stitch, featuring 3x3 ribbed hems and knitted-on vertical neckband. The fronts and back are worked in pieces from the bottom up, back & forth in rows, and seamed after all pieces have been knit. The drop-shoulder sleeves are worked from the cuff to the upper arm. Finally, stitches are picked up around the front opening to work an attached neckband.

The sample is knit with Brooklyn Tweed’s Loft, a 100% woolen spun sport weight wool, in Fossil. This is a great 3-season cardigan and you’ll find yourself reaching for it throughout spring, on cool summer nights, and as we head into chilly fall days. The sophisticated details add a timeless touch to a modern silhouette. Please share your progress on instagram with #morningcardigan.
