This is not a finished article, but a PDF download containing French instructions for knitting the "Madeleine" cardigan shown here in the photos.
Madeleine is a classic and elegant jacket with a lace panel at the bottom of the body.
It is inspired by the Chanel vest look: with a rounded neckline, a straight and slightly cropped silhouette, this jacket closes with a button band.
The “prairie in bloom” motif that goes around the bottom gives it a very feminine look.
I recommend you to knit this jacket with a fingering weight yarn paired with a strand of mohair for a very cozy effect. However, it is also possible to knit it only with a sport/DK weight yarn.
The jacket is knit top-down, starting with the raglan shaping.
The sleeves are then put on hold while the body is knit in stockinette stitch.
The button bands are knit at the same time in garter stitch.
The lace panel is knit separately, in reverse stockinette stitch, from the bottom up, before being grafted to the body.
The sleeves are then knitted using Magic loop.
Finally, stitches are picked up to knit the garter stitch neckband.
