Lime Sorbet
Introducing our delightful summer cardigan, designed to bring a splash of sass and fun to your warm-weather wardrobe. Perfect for cool lakeside breezes, stormy summer evenings, and picturesque bike rides at sunset, this little gem is both stylish and practical.
Construction Notes: This trendy cardigan is expertly crafted using seamless techniques featuring short row sleeve caps and turned hems for a polished look. The body is knitted from the hem upwards, allowing for easy adjustments and a comfortable fit. Once the shoulders are completed, stitches are picked up around the arms, and the sleeves are worked from the top down, incorporating short rows for beautifully shaped sleeve caps. The twisted stitch ribbing pulls in at the waist, mirroring the design on the sleeves just above the elbow, creating an elegant silhouette. With a sewn picot trim at the hems and a refined I-cord finish, this cardigan achieves a perfectly polished aesthetic that you'll love wearing all summer long.
This captivating sweater is crafted using Periwinkle Sheep's Merino Sport yarn, known for its luxurious softness and superb quality. The solid gauge, along with the intricate twisted stitches and close-fitting design, accentuates the softness of superwash merino and beautifully showcases the stitch definition of this high-twist yarn. Whether you’re dressing it up for a dinner date or keeping it casual for a laid-back day out, this cardigan is versatile enough to suit any occasion.
Notions: Before you get started, gather the following essential tools: you’ll need US 4 (3.5 mm) needles, or the size required to achieve your desired gauge. Both circular or straight needles are appropriate for working the body, while double-pointed needles (dpns) or any preferred method for working in the round will be perfect for the sleeves. Don't forget your sewing supplies for the picot trim!
Embrace your creativity this summer with this exquisite cardigan pattern, tailored for knitters looking to elevate their skills. It’s time to make lasting memories in a sweater as vibrant as your summer adventures!
