When I think of cardigans, I think of autumn, cold winds, and cozy evenings with a book by the fireplace. But cardigans have different sides, too! Today’s collection is proof that you can wear them all year long, and they can be a very important element in your wardrobe. New-season brings focus on Summer Crochet Kimono Cardigans. These beautiful designs feature elements like lace stitches, openwork, fringes, and ruffles. These designs can be as intricate as shawls and very comfy. You can wear them to many occasions – whether it’s a garden party, a day at the beach, or a summer festival. I recommend you choosing natural yarns that are breathable and eco-friendly, but if you need something special, take a look at yarns with a little shine to it. Links to free patterns are under the pictures.
