New leaves are one of the most promising and inspiring symbols of spring. Calathea Cardigan highlights a beautiful combination of stitches which create a wide, solid-leaf border and a large, lace-leaf body. The leaves are formed by special composite stitches (groups of stitches linked together mid-way) which suspend the leaves in a circular web of chain spaces. The stitch guide provides explanation for the composite stitches used in the pattern and a chart helps to visualize them. The duster also showcases a striking effect of thread crochet lace in a comfortable weight. Open front and high slits at the sides of the duster create a flowing silhouette accommodating for many body types.
