My design ideas and advice: This delicate lace cardigan is worked all in one at the bottom which means less seams to sew up! The lace pattern is worked on the right side and on the wrong side it is a purl row, this is the best way to work lace, as I feel it is like one row of concentrating then one row off!
For this pattern I used:
Yarn & Amounts: 2(2:2:3:3:3) 50g balls of 4 ply weight yarn.
Metres: 210(300:390:480:550:600)m
My Alternative Yarn Suggestions & Amounts: WYS Signature 4 Ply 1(1:1:2:2:2) 100g ball(s).
Needles: 3.25mm circular needle and one long 3mm circular needle.
Notions: One button.
Gauge (tension): 25 stitches and 34 rows to 10cm/4ins square over stocking stitch using 3.25mm needles.
