Estelle

A charming little cardigan with just a bit of decoration. Starting with a lace yoke and ending with a pretty rib, this mainly Stockinette cardigan is a quick knit. Estelle means star making it the perfect name because the lace emblems reminds me a stars with purl tails. I used the new Shibui yarn Birch! It is very soft with a delicate halo, altogether lovely!

Modeled size is 33.5” with slight negative ease

Yarn: Shibui Knits Staccato & Shibui Knits Birch. A suggested substitute is below.

This rounded yoke cardigan is constructed from the top down in one piece with raglan increases to shape the bodice. To create a flattering fit, there are short rows to shape the back neckline higher than the front.

There is no body shaping, but waist shaping can be added - just note that a multiple of 3 stitches plus 1 is needed between the Button Bands for the bottom ribbing.

The length of the body and sleeves can be easily adjusted.

Hold 1 strand of each yarn together throughout pattern.
