 Summer Breeze Sweater
Notes
Casual elegance radiates from this practical lightweight
sweater, perfectly suited for transitional weather. A simple
shell stitch pattern with subtle texture highlights tonal
variations of hand-painted yarn.

Summer Breeze Sweater features seamless top down raglan

construction with elegant neckline shaping. In combination
with a short 6-stitch pattern repeat, it allows the crocheter to
easily make adjustments to the width and length of the
finished piece for a custom fit.
