Artus & Anne Cardigan
Choose options
A breezy openwork cardigan in 9 sizes XS(S, M, L, 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X) with surface design derived from arts and crafts pottery motifs; the depth and shimmer of rich ceramic glazes is replicated by using a silky yarn blend. Comfortable raglan shaping and a slightly more open neckline make this sweater a go-to piece for mild weather. Cardigan is knit top-down in one piece without seams and features allover lace patterning with ribbed trims and button bands.

Customer Reviews
I am just starting on this pattern and finding it to be well written. It is an exciting adventure in knitting/creating a beautiful garment.
The pattern is so easy to follow, I am nearly to the point where I will be dividing for the sleeves/body. Can't wait to get to the lovely edgings, and excited to see how they will look in the yarn I am using. I am finding it difficult stop and put down, just want to keep knitting away.
I loved knitting this and every time I wear it I get great comments. A beautiful blend of lace and cables, old world style but funky as hell. I had a couple sticky moments under the arms trying to increase and keep the pattern. But I just really enjoy knitting Anne's patterns.
But I think I'm going to run short of yarn.
