Summer is flying by and what a perfect time to release my first lace design. The Seashore Cardigan is and lovely lace cardigian that has been designed to have a beautiful drape as well as made maker friendly using repetitive stitches. I love the lace boho inspiration that has filled the fashion world. The Seashore Cardigan will be perfect to wear year-round. You can wear with a tank top & shorts in the warmer months or with a long sleeve top and jeans in the cooler months. You can find the kit available at Lion Brand Yarn. You can find the full written pattern with charts in my Shop and Ravelry.
This was my first time working with Truboo Yarn, it’s very beautiful and lightweight. This is a free pattern and a low-cost ad-free pdf is available in my Shop and Ravelry.
