Elah

Elah by Isabell Kraemer is an open cardigan that looks feminine despite its strength with the beautiful lace pattern. It is knitted in one piece top down. We start with a provisional cast on for the front pieces, then pick up stitches there for the back pieces and finish knitting all the pieces together under the arms. The sleeves are also knitted directly to it.
