Etera Cardigan
“Etera” cardigan is worked from the neck down completely seamless.
The circular yoke features a lace pattern which echoes in the side lace inserts creating the A-line shape of the garment. The sleeve has two lace patterns – a lace path on the inside of the sleeve in continuation of the side lace panel at the body of the garment, and a lace motif in the lower part of the outside of the sleeve.
The pattern contains instructions for any sleeve length and any length of the garment itself.
