Design Information

Myrtle is a long cardigan worked in an overall lace stitch. The fronts and back are worked from the top down, back & forth in rows, before being joined under the armhole. The body is worked back & forth in rows to the desired length. The top-down construction allows for easy customization of the cardigan’s length to suit your style preference (note: any change in length will change your yardage requirements). The sleeves are worked in the round from the upper arm to the cuff.

The sample is crocheted with O-Wool’s O-Wash Sport, a 100% machine washable organic merino wool, in Brook Trout. This is a great cardigan to use as a layering piece throughout the summer. The stitch pattern is a joy to crochet and the cardigan works up relatively quickly.
