The lace pattern of this cardigan has been designed with reference to the little flower of Muscari, a lovely plant of our garden. It is worked top down. Yoke is done first, then stitches for sleeves and body are divided. The body is worked with a slight A shape. Sleeves are worked in the round from top to cuff. A false seam adds interest at the body.
