Conch Cardigan Digital Crochet Pattern
A Breezy Layering Piece for Summer Through Fall
The Conch Cardigan is your go-to lightweight layer for transitional weather. This elegant dolman-sleeved cardigan features an eye-catching lace panel down the back and the mesmerizing "Evolving V-Stitch" pattern that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

The open-front design and relaxed fit flatters every body type, while the fingering weight silk-blend yarn keeps you comfortable without overheating.
