Olivetti cardigan

Like my Mica cardigan, this is another reverse engineered cardi.  I liked the look of the original, but again, the pattern was designed  for thicker wool than I wanted to use.  I'd bought this yarn a while ago (Uncommon Thread BFL light DK from Loop), it's the same as I used to knit an Audrey in Unst, and it's a dream to knit with.  I snaffled the lace pattern directions from a Drops pattern and the three-stitch cables are, well, three-stitch cables!

I did patterning on the back as well for this cardigan.

The shaping is kinda based on Audrey in Unst, although I made this longer.  Buttons were in my stash, I can't remember where I bought them though.

I'm pleased with how this has turned out, although it's now been put away for a few months because it's not a colour I would wear in the spring and summer.
