Estella

Pre-order the book at Laine stockists worldwide. *Estella is an elegant, romantic cardigan with blousy sleeves. Graceful and dainty yet sophisticated and polished. The oversized ruffle along the collar elevates the cardigan to a refined, delicate statement piece.* Estella is worked from the top down, flat and in the round. After the back yoke, the two sides of the front are worked with rhythmic increases at the edge. The button band is worked right along with the lower body, after the yokes are joined at the underarm. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole and worked with a bit of short row shaping. Lastly, the ruffle and collar are worked to finish the cardigan.
