Kara: an open cardigan in Chickadee worked in a very simple to work all over lace pattern. This cardigan is worked from the bottom of the back up, with stitches cast on for the sleeves, then bound off for the back neck, and each side is worked down and stitches are bound off for the sleeves, the remaining stitches are worked down to the bottom of the fronts. The cast on and bound off stitches are in multiples of the lace stitch pattern, so there is no shaping within the lace, which makes this a fun but easy knit.
