Description
The BonBon Cardi Long Sleeve is a V-neck cardigan featuring two types of eyelet motifs inspired by round candies. Finished with a vintage-inspired pointelle pattern and lace edging, it is simple yet distinctive, adding a subtle highlight to everyday looks. It is a comfortable piece that can be styled in various ways.
The BonBon Cardi is worked top down and starts by knitting the back first. Stitches are then picked up along each shoulder to form the fronts. After working to the armholes, the fronts and back are joined and the body is worked in one piece. Sleeves are picked up around the armholes and shaped using short rows.
