Something Summery and Stripy
Errata: needle size is 4 mm/US 6
This easy summer cardigan has a subtle variation in shine, not hue, and a little bit in texture. It’s cool, yet gives a hint of warmth in a chilly spring breeze or your air-conditioned office. Make one in all your staple wardrobe colors!
It has a slight A-line, three quarter sleeves and a narrow garter button band. The hems are kept from rolling by an interesting stockinette variation on the tubular provisional cast-on.
And last but not least, it’s knit bottom-up contiguous, guaranteeing a perfect fit for your shoulders and arms.
