Tabernacle Cardigan

**Description** Tabernacle is an a-line cardigan with beautiful lace panels long the fronts and down the back. It is shaped with decorative raglan increases. The lace lines travel under the arms and follow the a-line along the sides of the body for a lovely visual detail. **Construction** The cardigan begins with a provisional cast on at the back of the neck. The lace collar is started and knit to one side then the cast on is placed back on needles and the lace panel continues to the other side.

The sleeves are then knit top down. **Finished measurements** Bust circumference (back width at underarm x2) S(M, L, XL)(2XL, 3XL, 4XL) = 35 (38, 42, 45)(49, 53, 57)in/89 (98, 107, 115.5)(125, 134.5, 144) cm.
