High Desert
Experience the beauty of California’s diverse landscapes with the High Desert cardigan knitting pattern. Inspired by my childhood vacations exploring the rocky terrains and breathtaking views of California's high desert, this lightweight sweater is perfect for those cooler evenings when the sun sets and the temperature drops. Unlike the typical cactus-filled vistas one might associate with a desert, the high desert boasts rugged elevation, resilient scrub, and twisted trees. That unique combination of warmth during the day and cool breezes at night makes the High Desert cardigan an essential addition to any summer wardrobe.
This exquisite laceweight cardigan is crafted from soft, airy Alpaca yarn, ensuring you stay comfortable when summer air conditioning becomes too overpowering. The High Desert cardigan is not only a joy to knit, but it also offers a stylish and relaxed fit, making it a versatile piece you'll reach for time and time again. Whether you're at home, enjoying a picnic, or exploring new places, this cardigan will keep you cozy and chic.
