The name Zemene means Strawberry in Latvian. I believe that one of the ultimate summer experiences for children and adults alike is strawberries. Growing them, picking them, and then eating them makes ones summer a lot sweeter.

A foolproof way to shower a little girl with love is to plant some strawberries in your garden and knit a summer cardigan for her to wear with her favorite twirly dress as she goes to pick them. This is exactly how this sweet design came to be.

This lace cardigan is knitted top-down, without seams. It starts with lattice pattern in the yoke and sleeves. Just like a wicker basket that children use for picking berries, it begins to fill up with strawberries. Step by step instructions and charts will guide you as you make this gift for a girl in your life.

This pattern is designed for the knitter who is comfortable knitting lace, using a chart. The desired size of this cardigan is achieved by adjusting the gauge. Using a smaller or bigger needle size and finer or heavier yarn, it is possible to make a cardigan in the size you need without altering stitch count and charts.
