Wrapover Cardigan

**ERRATUM Oct 2021** There is an extra dec mistakenly given on row 1 of Right Sleeve raglan shaping - the row should read Row 1 (RS) K to last 5 sts, skpo, K3. ****Great news!** April 2021** - I've added some extra sizes which are in a separate pattern. You will be able to buy either pattern at checkout - check that you select the correct size. So the first pattern is for bust sizes 32 - 42ins/81.5-106.5cm. The yardage for 2 ends Rowan Fine Lace worked together is 2000 - 2800m. See note below re a 4ply yarn. The second pattern is for sizes 44-52ins/112-132cm. The yardage is 2800 - 3600m Both patterns have charts for optional lace panels (see image of red garment). **Update April 2019** Single pattern available. I've re-knitted the cardi using a bright red Rowan Finest (sadly now discontinued), adding a lace panel at the back and on the sleeves (see photos to left) The pattern has been revised to include charts for these. Size 34ins took 290g Finest (1140m)- Merino Superwash Wool (50%),Alpaca (30%),Cashmere (20%) Inspired by the 18th century short jacket, this classic wrap cardigan is cropped, and would look great worn over an Empire line, high-waisted dress, or as part of a layered outfit. Knitted in a beautiful, soft alpaca mix yarn, it is a modern twist on the classic ballet-wrap. There is now a Ravelry group for [A Handknit Romance][1]. Two ends of lace yarn used together, or 4ply one end can be used. For help with pattern contact me at jennie@jennieatkinson.com [1]: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/a-handknit-romance
