Camden Place Cardigan Knitting Pattern Download

Some of the main clothing design elements during the Regency era were the empire waist and delicate botanical motifs. I wanted to incorporate those design elements into a cardigan and enhance the knitting experience by combining several techniques such as lace, cables, and eyelet patterning. This lightweight cardigan is cool enough to wear on a sunny spring day in Bath.
