Long cardigans are the rage this year, so why not make yourself several! This duster uses a shell stitch to create a lacy pattern that works up quickly. Bell sleeves add to the look making this one of the most gorgeous cardigans you can make.
Designed by Doris Chan for Caron yarns, the pattern comes in sizes Small to 3XL. The duster is made from the neck down in one piece meaning you can adjust the duster to your desired length.
The lacy duster as pictured is created with Caron Simply Soft yarn. Caron Simply Soft yarn is one of the most popular, versatile worsted weight (Size 4) yarns. Incredibly soft to the touch, this yarn is perfect from a variety of projects from baby to fashion to home décor. Simply Soft comes in an extensive array of colors, from neutrals, to pastels and brights, as well as vibrant neons – the perfect shade for every project! With a unique sheen, this yarn works up with a fabulous, lustrous look, with a beautiful drape. Conveniently machine washable and dryable for easy care.
Simply Soft is available from LoveCrafts, Yarnspirations and Joanne.com

i’m doing the large/x-large and by row 5 the counting for how many shells there is is off. i don’t know if i’m the only one with this issue but i’ve counted all rows up to here and have checked my work. i’m going to continue and ignore the continued to talk shell number and update how it looks. but i wanted to make y’all aware of this just incase it is a pattern error
Thank you so much for the hint. I have not made this pattern yet so hopefully it all worked out for you.
