Lace Jean Cardigan Knitting Pattern (XS – 4XL)

Knitting Pattern for a Classic Raglan-Cardigan with a trendy Wave-Lace-Pattern. The fabulous light weight cardigan is worked with a classic raglan set-up top down in one piece. First of all, the yoke is worked back and forth in rows in the wave-lace pattern, with raglan increases and additional increases to shape the V neck. When the sleeves are separated from the body and all increases for the V neck are worked, the cardigan is finished in one piece and in the wave-lace-pattern without increases. Finally, a hem in 1×1 ribbing with twisted stitches is added to the cardigan. The sleeve stitches are now picked up again and the sleeves are worked in the round in wave-lace-pattern, until you reach the desired length. Shortly before the cuffs, a bunch of decreases is worked for a balloon- like sleeve shape. Then, the cuffs are worked in 1×1 twisted ribbing. Last but not least, stitches are picked up along the  front parts and the neckline and a button band in double knitting is added to the cardigan. The buttons are sewn directly opposite onto the other side of the button band. The fit of the cardigan is neutral to slightly oversized creating a comfortable fit due to the positive ease of 2 to 12 cm. The length is relatively short for a cropped look of the cardigan. The most exciting thing is the wave-lace-pattern – consisting of garter stitch stripes alternating with lace pattern stripes creating the unique wave-lace-pattern.
