Aqua pearl
Aqua pearl is suitable for summer knitting.Tiny faux cables with eyelets adds to the style to this swing top, coupled with a scoop neck for a flattering finishing touch - its as fun to wear as it is to knit!
Knitted from top down with raglan shaping its practically seamless.
Note: This pattern requires the knitter to work from a chart.
To make sweaters work in the summer, choose the right fabrics(go for lightweight cotton, silk-blend or many rayon blends that will let you keep your cool)
Keep it light, with some drape, breatheable with adding openwork stitches, even a small yarn over will make a sweater cooler without sacrificing modesty.
