Summer Child Cardigan

*This pattern have been originally published in Novita Kesä 2/2023 magazine.* In this cardigan, there's a bit of a challenge with some lace, but the result is wonderfully summery. After the lace pattern, short rows are worked to raise the back higher than the front. The cardigan has short sleeves. The length of the cardigan can be easily adjusted as it is knit from the top down.

Pitsikuvion jälkeen lyhennettyjä kerroksia tehdään niskan nostamiseksi korkeammalle kuin etukappale. Takissa on lyhyet hihat. Takin pituutta voi helposti säätää, sillä takki neulotaan ylhäältä alas.
