The Dusty Cardigan, Fingering-Weight Version is the popular Dusty Cardigan knit with fingering-weight yarn. The front opening is off center and is framed with a pretty and simple lace pattern. All of the trim is applied i-cord, which gives the sweater a simple elegance. The cardigan is A-line and tunic length. The sleeves are set in and are fitted.
The cardigan is knit top down in one piece, except for the sleeves. There is short row shaping in the shoulders and in the sleeve caps. The lace pattern is both charted and fully written out.
