The cardigan is relatively long, covering my hips, but I made the sleeves approximately three-quarter length.

There are three rows of the lacy motif at the bottom of the cardigan, and just a single row for each sleeve. I really like the fan-like effect of the patterning and the scallop it creates at the bottom. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
