Old Shale Lace Cardigan

This is a very sweet little cardigan for little girls. Ideal for pre-school toddlers. The Old Shale Lace stitch pattern on the lower part is easier to knit than it looks ! ’Old Shale’ is a traditional Shetland lace knitting pattern ~ it was probably originally called ‘Old Shell’. It gives a pretty, lacy effect - no wonder it is so popular Sizes: 23" chest, approx age 1 - 2 years 25" chest, approx age 3 - 4 years Knitted from the top down. There is a choice of long or short sleeves. Requires: DK yarn 4mm needles 3 or 5 buttons So pretty!
