Laura Chau Bellevue Cardigan for Fingering Weight Yarn PDF

This fingering weight version of the Bellvue Cardigan by Laura Chau is a summery, slightly cropped cardigan with a fun lace edging with two sleeve options! Meant to be worn open (but you can also add a button or tie). Works up quickly in a small amount of fingering weight yarn and is a perfect topper to take that short-sleeved or sleeveless dress into the evening, air conditioning, and autumn. The cardigan is knit from the bottom up, and the cap sleeve version is completely seamless while the short sleeve version has minimal seaming. The lace pattern is charted and written out.
