Lace Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Wear the Lace Cardigan You Actually Pictured

You want a cardigan with real detail — something that looks like it came from a boutique, not a basic knit. This V-neck lace cardigan gives you exactly that, with two eyelet motifs that add texture and character without turning the process into a struggle.

The construction is logical and well-sequenced. Back first, fronts picked up from the shoulders, body joined, sleeves worked from the top down — you always know where you're going, and the charts back it up clearly at every step.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Bust 98.5 cm to 136 cm (sizes XS to 2XL)

• Six sizes with full measurements. XS through 2XL with 6–15 cm positive ease built in, so you can choose fit based on your actual bust, not guesswork.
• Two sleeve length options. Choose a slightly cropped version that sits above the wrist or a full-length version that covers it — both are included.
• Vintage-inspired lace that wears easily. The eyelet motifs add visual interest to an otherwise clean, wearable silhouette. Relaxed enough for everyday, refined enough to stand out.
