This grown up version of The Daisy Cardigan is perfect whether you need a light sweater for a cool autumn weekend or something to ward off the chill at the office.
The Lily Cardigan is knit from the down. Just like The Daisy Cardigan front ties are built right in to the front edge bind off and little picots lend a bit of polish to cuffs and bottom hem. With a deep Vneck and light waist shaping this is definitely a grown up version of a cute little cardi.

Wonder what the yarn weight is for this pattern? I have some sport weight, but don't know if I have enough to complete this pattern.

Oh, I love this! Light enough for the state where I live now and usable enough for the state in which I may be living soon--
As well as offering a size which will fit me...
If I can scrape up the dollar-oons from my recent severance pay, this may well be my first "boughten" pattern!
