ABBREVIATIONS
For a full list see page 95 Give this cardigan pride of place in your new season wardrobe (when you’re not wearing it!). It’s knitted in a wonderfully soft yet surprisingly durable yarn, that comes in a vibrant palette of shades. For the most part, this cute cardi is knitted in a simple rib stitch, and you’ll have fun working the lace buds – each one is made up of a series of yarnovers and decreases. Note When working this pattern, the stitch count will alter across the rows as stitches are increased and decreased to make the bud pattern. However, all stitch counts given are based on the initial stitch count without the increases.
