Vinelle By Kristin Alexandra

Vinelle is a simple raglan cardigan knit from the bottom up, with two twin lace panels down the front and seed stitch edges. I used worsted weight wool, but cotton and acrylic may also be used.

Suggested Yarn: 4 (5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8) skeins Cascade Heathers 220 Color: 9452 (Light Blue Heather) 220 yds weight 100 grams 3.5 oz Btw(880-1540) yds Materials: US 8 32” circular needles, US 8 dpns, Darning Needle, Buttons

Sizes: 33 (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56)

Note: Except for the top buttonhole, I did not include directions for other buttonhole placement because I feel they can be placed anywhere you prefer, as long as they are evenly spaced apart.
