Dream of Summer - Crochet Free Lacy Cardigan Chart and Instructions
The summer vacation is most of the times related to dreaming of a nice resort . Out of so many things you can take with you in such a place a lacy summer cardigan is kind of mandatory to keep you warm during summer evenings and help you look elegant enough for any summer party.
Personally I am extremely fond of lacy structures made of individual elements and honestly I like pretty much anything made out of light and airy cotton. Since I am also fond of loose fitted designs that would complement a not exactly trimmed figure , I have to say that this particular cardi is one of my ultimate favorites.
While browsing for the right yarn to make it out of, I got an interesting idea and tried a few different yarns. Viscose and combinations of cotton and acrylic make this design ideal for spring and indian summer temperature , while mercerized cotton of a thicker consistence ( size 2 ) or the likes of Drops Cotton Light will make it ideal for late fall layering.
I plan to make it out of thinner yarn to keep the airy feel of the design.
The side and sleeve motif
As you can see in the chart, the sides of the design are made of joined floral motifs that add to the airy finish, while the back is a more compact structure of double crochet clusters.
As you can see there are two types of floral motifs in this blog post. This is because you can either choose the above for a lacy look or the below one for a more compact result.
And a final confession....
I know that "mint" is an extremely trendy color for this season so I must confess this is my dream come true. :)
I hope you like this post . Please follow me on Facebook and on Google and also pin the pics on Pinterest so everybody will take advantage of this lovely design.
