Light as air and full of charm, Maree will be your new favourite layer for breezy mornings and golden afternoons. Maree captures the delicate elegance of a summer breeze with its flowing lace motif, gentle shaping, and soft short sleeves. This cardigan features a beautiful openwork leaf pattern adding a touch of nature-inspired grace to any outfit. Designed to be worn open, the cardigan pairs effortlessly with sundresses, camisoles, or casual tees. The garter stitch sleeves and edging lend structure while keeping the overall look relaxed and wearable. Deep, cozy pockets offer practicality without sacrificing style, and the seamless construction ensures a smooth, flattering fit.

Construction:
The bodice is constructed using a hybrid circular yoke construction. This is an unusual take on the traditional circular yoke, with the yoke forming more of a half circle over the bodice rather than a true circle.

The garter stitch yoke leads into a row of eyelets that allow the wearer to create a fastening if desired.

The body of the cardigan is knit in an easy to remember lace pattern, complete with pockets worked into the lace pattern.

Pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
