If you’re looking for a light layer that shifts through texture and colour, the Lunara Cardigan might be your next favourite make. This short sleeve crochet cardigan pattern is designed for warmer days and cooler evenings — easy to wear, easy to style, and fun to crochet.

The cardigan is worked flat in one piece up to the armholes, then split for the fronts and back — meaning minimal seaming and a smooth, comfortable fit across the shoulders. The design uses a softly shaped V-neckline for a flattering finish.

The stitch patterns transitions from treble V-stitches to double mesh clusters, then into solid double crochet giving a beautiful texture.
