It’s amazing how easy it is to create a summer garment for yourself with something as simple as a crochet hook. Lightweight cardigans are great for this season – they are breezy, feature beautiful openwork stitches, and are extremely comfortable.
Even beginners will make them without effort, because their construction cannot be simpler. Rectangles are worked flat and joined at the seams to create boxy cardigans. You can wear them to the beach, throw on top of a summer dress or simple blouse. They are versatile and comfy, which means that they are must-haves for this season! Below you can find projects that are perfect examples of beginner-friendly cardigans. Search for links to free patterns under the pictures below.
