Publisher's Synopsis
A crochet motif pattern by contemporary artist & designer Kristen Stein. The pattern uses basic crochet skills and fingering weight yarn to create a lightweight cardigan sweater with lace details on the back and a scarf-like drape in the front. The cardigan is written as a 'one-size-fits most' pattern. It is open styling with significant drape in front and fitted across the back to show off the lacy details. The back shoulder-to-shoulder measures approximately 16"(42cm)-18"(45cm) unstretched. To increase the overall size of the cardigan and add extra drape to the back, you can add an extra column of motifs in the center back or use a larger crochet hook and/or thicker DK-weight yarn to create larger motifs.From shoulder to base, the cardigan measures 30"(75cm) in length. The total perimeter width is about 52"(130cm) with about 20"-24"(50cm-60cm) across the back from side-to-side with the extra drape in front. The scarf-like neckline is a total of 10"(25cm) wide and folds over to about 5"(12.5cm) wide. The sleeves are ribbed with extra lace detail around the wrist.
