Part Cardigan, part shawl:Â Endless ways to wear it!
Work it with sleeves or without, with one yarn or with two. This straightforward project is a crocheted broomstick lace rectangle with a simple yet stunning circular edging – no shaping or seaming required! It’s flattering to any body type and with just shawl pin or belt can be draped “right-way-up†or “upside-down†for countless looks. Don’t be surprised if this relaxing design becomes not only a favorite project to crochet, but your favorite wearable too.
- Size on this unstructured garment is not precise, however, it is important to select sizing based on adequate back width and armhole/upper arm measures as these are most likely to constrict wear. Please note the garment stretches greatly across the back after blocking and with wear - our measure reflects stretched measure for snug fit. For sizes L, 2X, 3X, also consider bust measure: these sizes have the same back width, but more ample bust cover for larger sizes.
