This is the fourth pattern from the Fairy Tales Saga. Snow White's dress was the height of fashion during the Disney heyday of my childhood. But now that I'm older, I think her ensemble needs a bit of an upgrade. A little bit of feminine lace, with a flattering v-neck that suits many styles, this simple cardigan adds some chic to even the most medieval of wardrobes. This charming, dead simple lace cardigan that features lace, garter stitch, and a sloped v-neck. Wear open or closed with one very special button.
