England Avenue Cardigan

A long flattering cardigan with buttoned cuffs, shaping, and a delicate lattice pattern along the neck. The body is worked in stockinette stitch, set in sleeves, pockets, with wide seed stitch hem and cuffs. Details like the buttoned cuffs, vent at the center back hem, and lattice pattern make this especially pretty and practical. The lattice stitch pattern appears to float above the work, and follows the curve of the neck and the small of the back.
