Inspired by the feeling of freedom that summer brings, this light and airy cotton kimono exudes a laid back vibe and casual elegance. Offered in two sizes, S/M and L/XL, this cardigan is quick to make and easily adjustable. Crocheted from the bottom up, in separate pieces that are sewn or crocheted together afterwards, it is  finished off with a playful fringe. Throw it on over shorts or a sundress, or pair it with jeans and a long-sleeved shirt as we transition into Fall. The sample shown was crocheted in 100% Pima cotton, but we think it would be delightful, even lighter, and more easy care, in our elann.com Go Lightly Worsted cotton/acrylic blend.
