Lace cable cardigan for ladies knitting pattern designed by Judy Lamb.
The design offers a sleeveless or cardigan-style vest that melds delicate lacework with classic cable stitch — creating a textured, elegant garment with visual interest and subtle sophistication. The lace gives openness and lightness, while the cables add structure and definition, so the final piece feels both breezy and tailored.

The garment is shaped to fit smoothly over the body, often with gentle waist shaping or shaping through the torso to give a flattering silhouette. Because of the lace + cable combo, the fabric drapes nicely — ideal for layering over tees or light tops, or for adding a handmade statement to a simple outfit.

Overall, it’s a lovely project if you enjoy combining texture and structure: the lace brings softness and femininity, cables bring classic stitch appeal — the result is a versatile vest/cardigan that looks much more intricate than the effort implies.
