This light weight cardigan was inspired by climbing Humulus plant that my mother used to have in her garden. Wide lace panel is centered at back, and its modest fragments are running along Front panels from rib to shoulders. The sleeves are shortened to 2/3 of a full length to be suitable to warm weather.
