Lightweight yarn is ideal for warm weather garments with a loose drape. If you can make a hexagon, you can make this summer staple!

The sample item is made with West Yorkshire Spinners Solstice 4ply:
-- 3 (4, 4, 5, 5, 6) skeins of Desert (1247)
-- 1 skein of each Canopy (1249) and Lava (1248)

For a more budget-friendly make, try Sirdar Snuggly 4ply:
-- 6 (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) balls of Biscuit (522)
-- 1 ball of each: Treehouse (515) and Squirrel (514)

Tension:
Rounds 1-5 measure 10x10cm (4x4in) 21 sts and 10 rows measure 10x10cm (4x4in) over treble crochet using a 2.5mm hook, or size needed to obtain correct tension.
