Lorna's Laces - Cara Cardigan Pattern (Print Copy)

Lorna's Laces Cara Cardigan by Diane Zangl

An allover cable and openwork pattern is the focus of this design. The vertical line of the pattern is enhanced by the lengthened lower band, which is worked in 2/2 ribbing. The snug hood repeats the textured theme. Front edges and vest armbands are ribbed also. A zipper is used for closure. When knit as a cardigan, stockinette stitch sledeves add further textural interest.
