What you need to know

Combine lace and rib stitches in Jacqueline van Dillon’s textured cardi

It's great fun to mix different effects and this pretty cardigan uses both rib and lace to create a fitted and flattering design. Make sure you are working a double decrease in the lace pattern so you don't end up increasing by mistake. If you want to adjust the sleeve length, just work more rows of Chart B before shaping the top – remembering that you will need extra yarn to do this
