Posy 4ply

Posy 4ply is part of a series of knits designed to coordinate with the popular Bloom dress. It features the same diamond lace through the body and yoke as on the dress’s body and hemline.

This cardigan is knit top-down and seamlessly, beginning with a circular yoke. The body is worked flat, and the sleeves are knit in the round, with the diamond lace positioned symmetrically across the fronts and back. The edging is worked as you go to make for minimal finishing.

This pattern does require the knitter be able to read their work. 

The original sample was knit in gorgeous WOOLganics 4-ply organic wool.

The yoke lace has both chart and written instructions. The body lace has a chart and cheat sheet to guide you through the lace placement for those daunted by charts.

A version of this pattern in DK/8ply is also available here.
