Crafty Diversions: Lillian

Lillian

by Anne Kuo Lukito

A new classic! A modern twist on the classic simple

cardigan, Lillian is the perfect sweater for almost any

weather or outfit. An unique openwork “keyhole

cable” to runs along the center back to capture my

vision of a garment with clean lines, grace, charm

and a little bit of sex appeal. The special cable detail

makes this a fun project, and it looks so polished

that people will be shocked when they find out you

knit it yourself.

The garment body and set-in sleeves are both

worked seamlessly.
