Summer is the season of fresh fruit and short sleeves. This pattern is a reinterpretation of one I designed for Claudia of crochetluna. While the focus of the Autumn Flame pattern was coziness and warmth. The focus of Summer Breeze is a soft and light fabric that will accompany us on our Summer/tropical weather journey.

NOTE: this pattern combines knitting and crochet. the knit border is of course optional.
