Leilani
















Here is the Leilani sweater from Berroco booklet #270. I used Cascade Sierra, a yarn that I really love & it's perfect for a summer sweater, although maybe not quite as drape-y as the linen-blend yarn the pattern is written for. Incredibly easy to knit, super simple seaming, and easy to throw on in a frigidly air-conditioned subway car! I made one modification - the pattern calls for the two fronts to be different sizes, but I made them both in the larger size specified for the right front, and I don't think the resulting symmetry takes away from my enjoyment of the unstructured simplicity of this sweater.
