Hep cats and hoopy froodettes, grab your ginchiest poodle skirt, because this cardi is radioactive! Day or night, enjoy this cute little vintage styled cardigan.

This is a pattern for a cropped v-neck cardigan, with lace motif, stockinette, and 2 st cables. It is worked from the top down using the contiguous sleeve technique, developed by Susie Myers. You are encouraged to try on your cardi, as you knit, for a good fit.
Your most useful measurement is your shoulder to shoulder: 11.5, 13, 13.5, 13.5, 14.5, 15 inches/29.3, 33, 34.3, 34.3, 36.8, 38 cm

This pattern is written ONLY, from the CO to Row 59. At Row 60, you may use the lace motif chart or written instructions, working repeats for a cropped or full length cardigan. (full length and full sleeves will affect yarn amounts)
MISTAKE!
The shoulder spine measurement includes the neck rib (not taken from the cast-on edge).
The mm1l should read:
mm2l - Work to marker, remove marker slip 2 sts from LEFT needle to RIGHT needle, replace marker, slip those 2 slipped sts back to the LEFT needle to be worked. (You have moved your marker 2 sts to the left)
