Much as I like shawls all year long, I also like to have a cardigan handy pretty much all the time for those times (often) when I feel a chill from the air conditioner or there’s a sudden temperature drop from a summer storm.
The Kennebunk Cardigan from Lion Brand Yarn (designed by Vladamir Teriokhin) is a great choice for a summer sweater. The yarn used, Flikka, is a colorful lightweight cotton and polyester yarn that’s easy to work with and easy to wash.
It is worked flat in pieces using Stockinette Stitch with Garter Stitch edgings, and is a simple, boxy design that’s meant to be worn with some ease for a casual look (the smallest size is about 41 inches around at the bust).
Head to the Lion Brand website to download the pattern and order any supplies you need.
