About This Design

The Olive Bobble Lace Cardigan is a statement layering piece with a relaxed, A-line silhouette that falls gracefully below the hip. The design balances two distinct textures: richly dimensional bobble-stitch sleeves that add volume and visual interest, and an open diamond lace pattern across the body and skirt that keeps the overall look light and breathable.

Worked in a warm olive green, the cardigan pairs effortlessly with a simple white tee and jeans or over a casual dress. The open-front construction means no buttonholes, closures, or complicated finishing. Just beautiful, flowing crochet from cast-on to bind-off.
