Crochet Lace Duster Cardigan Pattern PDF | Long Kimono Cover-Up with Bell Sleeves, XS-5XL Sizes

🌾 Lace Duster Cardigan — PDF Crochet Pattern
Long openwork duster • Wide bell sleeves • Scalloped border • Nine sizes, XS to 5XL • DK or sport cotton

Openwork is the fastest lace there is. Because most of the fabric is holes, a garment this long grows several times quicker than a solid one — and it weighs almost nothing, which is why it works as a spring layer and as a beach cover-up rather than only as an autumn cardigan.

The body is built in vertical panels of different stitch patterns running the full length. That is what stops it looking like one enormous doily: each panel is its own simple repeat, and the variety comes from putting them side by side rather than from any single difficult stitch.

A note on colour, because it matters more here than on a solid garment: openwork reads by the contrast between the yarn and whatever shows through the holes. A mid-tone yarn worn over a lighter underlayer makes every stitch pattern visible. A cream duster over a cream top makes the lace disappear — the work is still there, but nobody sees it.
