Biches & Bûches no. 2

Construction
The cardigan is worked from the bottom up, knitted flat back and forth. It is worked in stockinette stitch, with an openwork lace pattern on the upper body. The wide three-quarter-length sleeves are knitted separately.

We have designed two versions:
– one version with buttons and buttonholes,
– and one version without buttons or buttonholes.
