Kuzu Cardigan
PDF PATTERN
Kuzu is a short-sleeve (with options for long sleeves) cardigan featuring a lace detail at the bottom. It is knit bottom-up so we can create a pretty lace band at the ribbing. All of the fun right at the beginning!
It is designed to resemble my favorite vintage short-sleeve cardigan, which I’ve worn on repet since I was a teenager! It’s a very fine knit, the one you would typically wear with a wide A-line skirt or dress.
SIZES
1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

Please, note this pattern needs some agressive blocking to retain its shape and showcase the lace design. If you’d rather get a chunkier, loftier texture, account for that when picking your size based on your gauge.
