Stripes with texture…it’s fabulous! This sweet, short sleeved cardigan, with its little faux mitered squares and striped vibrant colours, is perfect for a day out or a playful night with friends, sipping your favourite cocktail. How cool will you be… in a merino and silk blend?! Daytime, you can pair the Sun Sea Piracy cardi with jeans, shorts, or skirt and in the evening, the dark trim syncs up with your little black dress!

This is a pattern for a short sleeve cardigan, worked from the top down, with raglan shaping. The textured sts put a twist on a classic stripe. The button panel, picked up later, is wider at the chest giving an unusual and flattering neckline - as high or low as you want to go. Accent your cardi with matching buttons or make it shine with some Swarovski Rivolis.
