Free Knitting Pattern for a Cropped Lace Cardigan with Three Quarter Sleeves.
Skill Level: Intermediate
This cardigan is knitted in pieces (left front, right front, back, and two sleeves) and then seamed. It features 2×2 ribbing for the lower hems and borders, Stocking Stitch for the sleeves, and a specific patterned stitch incorporating increases, decreases, and yarn overs for the main body of the fronts and back above the ribbing. Shaping is worked for the armholes, V-neckline, and sleeve tops. After the main pieces are complete and shoulder seams are joined, stitches are picked up for a ribbed neckband and separate ribbed left and right front borders, with buttonholes created on the right front border. Sleeves are set in, and side and sleeve seams are joined during finishing.
