WORKING ROWAN’S Kidsilk Haze
laceweight yarn on larger needles gives a
beautifully airy fabric, as demonstrated
h e re by L i s a R i c h a rd s on’s c a rd i ga n.
Her design has square front panels
which softly hang open, and are
decorated with a lace stitch; the back of
the cardigan has a full-length panel of
lace, too. The rest of the body and the
sleeves are in stocking stitch.
