The Breeze Cardigan is a lightweight, breathable piece—perfect for those cool, breezy days when you need just a touch of warmth.
It’s worked seamlessly from the top down and features a neatly finished button band with one-row horizontal buttonholes. A subtle stripe detail at the cuffs and contrast pocket lining add a soft pop of contrast.

The pattern includes detailed instructions and video tutorials to guide you through each step, making it approachable even for knitters new to some of the techniques.
