☀️ Summer fun you can actually wear

The swirls of a bright lollipop are an iconic sign of summer, and the Lollipop Summer Cardigan captures them with fun rings around the yoke and a few bobble stitches. It’s perfect for a summer afternoon at the farmer’s market or the fair.

Don’t let the solid white fool you. Add rainbow buttons or a brightly colored top underneath for pops of color.
