Cala Cardigan

Cala Cardigan (Norwegian and English)
Knittingpattern by Thea M

The cardigan is a short and feminine cardigan with a delicate sea foam lace pattern along the lower body and sleeves. It is worked from the bottom up, back and forth. The body is first worked in the sea foam lace pattern, then continues in stockinette stitch and is divided at the sleeveholes. The sleeves are worked from the top down, finishing with the same sea foam lace pattern as the body. Finally, stitches are picked up for the button bands and neckband, which are worked in ribbing.
