The Botanical Cardi is truly a one-of-a-kind artistic cardigan. In this design, we'll knit from the center back flower outward - making this a fantastic design to learn modular and simple lace knitting as well as a handful of fun new stitches. It's a seamless design with a unique construction featuring a v-neckline and lace fronts that can be worn open or with a simple button to close. This spring style is a wonderful, airy knit and makes for a great layering piece with any wardrobe staple.
