Willow Cardi Kit
price: $268.00
The Willow Cardi is a textured, eye-catching cardigan that is worked flat in one piece, horizontally across the body, beginning with the right cuff and ending with the left cuff. It is worked entirely in a feather and fan lace pattern, changing colors/yarns, and creating wavy stripes. The sleeves and sides are seamed together to form the body and both a bottom hem and an applied front neckline edging complete it. This is a wonderful design for all levels of knitters, and a perfect piece for beginner lace knitters to shine.
