The Bonfire Cardi features a unique combination of open and airy stitches which makes it lightweight and comfortable in the warmer months! It’s perfect to toss on when the air conditioning gives you the chills, or on those cool summer nights when you’re outside hanging with friends! The construction is super simple, which means it’s easy to adjust for any size!

** For reference: model is 5’7, and 124 lbs. She’s modeling the S/M size (no adjustments). The sweater is about mid-thigh length. **

The Adult sized S/M cardigan (pictured) used exactly 4 skeins of RODEO yarn (1,060 yds). I had only a few tiny scraps left over. If you plan on making adjustments for a larger size (or if you want to make it longer) I recommend having AT LEAST 5 skeins of yarn (1,325 yds).

The pattern includes photos and detailed written instructions - making it easy to follow - even for beginners. It includes simple notes on how to adjust it to your size. Don’t be scared off by the adjustability! It’s super easy to customize. (You just need to add stitches to your first row to make the sweater wider and add more rows to make it longer!)
