Hundreds Flower Cocoon Cardigan

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hundreds-flower-cocoon-cardigan

Inspired by the design of my cardigan from Yes Style, this lacy ¾ dolman sleeve and hip length cocoon cardigan has hundreds of whimsical flowers and leaves. For a flirty and fun look, its edges and cuffs are decorated with ruffles.
This ultra cosy oversized cardigan can be made in different weight yarns and is easily adaptable to any sizes. It is a mindless crochet project.
This pattern has both written and charted instructions.
Note: Use the flowers and leaves stitch pattern to make a scraf, wrap, baby blanket, cushion cover, cowl, etc.
