Kristen Kapur of Through the Loops is at it again, this time with a beautiful sweater, the Zelkova cardigan {web link} {ravelry link}, knit out of Road to China in Malachite.
The body of the sweater is knit in one piece, and the 3/4 length sleeves are knit separately and joined at the armholes. The yoke is seamlessly shaped in one piece.
The decorative leaf lace panel works beautifully with the color of Road to China, and adds a lovely bit of visual interest without being overly fussy.
