The Summer sweater is a hip-length style knit with a deep V-neck and long balloon sleeves. This sweater is worked top-down in Stockinette stitch pattern in raglan using increases RLI and LLI. Neck, cuffs and hem are worked in Rib stitch pattern. The sweater body is worked straight, therefore it can be easily made longer and of course, more yarns should be estimated. The Summer sweater is a cozy knit which has three decorative lace stitch rows, so the sweater looks very simple and not boring.
