Starlight Summer Knit Cardie is The Knitters Studio’s featured knitting pattern for the 2026 Puget Sound LYS Tour. It’s the perfect garment for a beautiful summer evening when the sun disappears over the horizon, and you need a light layer to keep the chill off your shoulders. The cardie is knit in one piece from the bottom up with a fun and easy-to-work lace pattern. It’s made from a luxuriously soft, light-as-air yarn that is a pleasure to knit with and wear.
Starlight Summer Knit Cardie is the sister pattern of the Starlight Summer Crochet Cardie.
