Description
The BonBon Cardi is a V-neck cardigan featuring delicate lace and eyelet motifs inspired by small round candies.
Designed with a relaxed shoulder line and a slightly cropped silhouette, it is comfortable, versatile, and easy to style in different ways. The cardigan is worked top down and finished with a scalloped lace edging: the back is worked first, then stitches are picked up along the shoulders to work the fronts. After completing the armhole increases, the fronts and back are joined to complete the body. Sleeves are picked up around the armhole and shaped using short rows.
For transitional seasons, it can also be styled beautifully with longer sleeves.
