I love lace and cardigans, so I tried to combine both in this cardigan. I designed and knitted this cardigan on repeated trips on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner train that goes between Los Angeles to San Diego, thus its name...
The cardigan’s instructions are given bottom-up in seamless knitting construction (you join the back and sleeves where the raglan starts). The pattern can be easily changed for a top-down knit. Once the back and sleeves are finished, sts are picked up from the edges to knit the lace fronts sideways.

Yardage Needed: 1200 (1300, 1400, 1500, 1600) yards
Gauge: 16 sts & 26 rows – 4” in stockinette (Cascade 220 Superwash has a posted gauge of 20-22 sts/4” but by knitting the yarn at a looser gauge, 16 sts/4”, it has a lovely drape.)
