This cardigan is knit with a very open gauge, and as a result it is featherlight, just resting on your shoulders and providing a bit of warmth on chilly summer nights after the sun goes down. The block structure of the pieces and the wide, 3/4 length sleeves let the sweater sit comfortably and float around you. The combination of different fibers creates textural interest, and I love any excuse to incorporate a suri alpaca and silk yarn into a pattern!
