Spiderweb Cardigan Crochet Pattern Download

Description

Worked lengthwise in rows, this lacy cardigan is loose-fitting and flattering to every figure. Pin it closed with a brooch or crocheted pin or wear it open. If you want a shawl instead of a sweater, just continue with the pattern row repeats of the right front to make a long rectangle, eliminating the sleeves.
