I'm interested in a pattern in the latest Lion Brand catalog. The name is Casual Elegance Cardigan.
I want to order it but don't care for the cuffs and am wondering if anyone knows if they can be eliminated or shortened. Also I'd like to know if it's done in motifs or in one piece. I can't tell by the picture.
It can be seen at:
It's a $4 pattern so you won't be out much if you order it and decide you don't want to make it for whatever reason.
Anything can be changed. IMO you'll have a shitload of ends to deal with but you should form your own opinion after you read the pattern.
Considering it's such an 'airy' sweater, I'd think it would look perfect with a 1" cuff of that cuff pattern, stopping at a 3/4 sleeve. Those are really ugly the way they have them made. It seems reasonable that it might be done in one piece, like a pineapple or shell and the lines from it are formed, but no way to be sure. Sometimes patterns can fool you as to what you think they will turn out like. It _seems_ like I can see the chain lines running into the shell rows.
