What a great time to knit a short-sleeved lace sweater! And a cotton-blend yarn is the perfect choice.
Summer Hearts was designed by local designer Reah Janise Kauffman to be both casual and dressy. It is worked with Elsebeth Lavold's Hempathy, which is a lovely yarn: It gets softer as you wear it, has a great drape and retains its shape.
The body of the sweater is worked flat, so there is minimal seaming and the sleeves are knit in the round. The lace gives it stretch, and of course, some built in air conditioning.
We have Hempathy currently available on our website for purchase at $7.95 per ball. We are also offering ten discontinued colorways for $5.00 per ball -- many of which have sweater quantities.
Summer Hearts is available for purchase on Ravelry. For our customers, designer Reah Janise Kauffman is offering the Summer Hearts pattern at 50% off for all Heavenly Yarn patrons through the end of August. Use discount code heavenly at the checkout on Ravelry to get the new price.
If you would like a smaller project, Ravelry has about 8,300 projects listed for Hempathy!
