Gardenia from Louet is a lovely cardigan knit in LoftyFiber Euroflax Sport. A Victorian lace border, which includes a zig-zag pattern and faggoting, adds romance and femininity to this beautiful linen women’s sweater. Gardenia is knit in one piece from the bottom up to the underarm; it is then divided for the fronts and the back. Small buttons that start at the top of the border finish off the look. Euroflax Sport is the same long-line linen that you know and love. This yarn is made from flax fiber that is double-boiled to give it a soft and supple feel. Linen ‘wears in,’ getting better and softer with wear. The lace patterns are in written form only.
