Mica cardigan

Inspired by this cardigan, I made this with madelinetosh sock yarn (the pattern is designed for aran weight) which was an impulse purchase bought at same time as the Button Jar Blue DK for my daughter's Winter Breton jumper.  I liked the look of the colourway (another discontinued one) in the photo on the website and was pleased to see that the wool looked like the photo when it arrived!  It's always a bit of a leap of faith buying sight unseen.

This was an easy lace pattern to knit, I modified it slightly from the one used in Kristenhamn, and I only put patterning on the front of the cardigan, the back is stocking stitch.  There is some waist shaping in the back and at the sides and I picked up the sleeves and knitted them top down.

I've worn this a fair bit since finishing it, it goes with quite a few of my dresses and is equally at home being worn with jeans.
