Summer Child Cardigan

This pattern have been originally published in Novita Kes 2/2023 magazine.

In this cardigan, theres a bit of a challenge with some lace, but the result is wonderfully summery. After the lace pattern, short rows are worked to raise the back higher than the front. The cardigan has short sleeves. The length of the cardigan can be easily adjusted as it is knit from the top down.
