My Summer Lotus is inspired by the calm movement of the sea and flowers floating on the surface of the water. The colourful stripes stand for all the shades of summer – from turquoise sea and golden sunlight to green meadows and purple evening light.

Oceans is CosyMonday's summer collection – inspired by the sea, beach life and the calm freedom that comes with long, bright days. The collection combines light qualities, feminine silhouettes and colours that mirror the nature along the coast.

My Summer Lotus – The Cardigan is knitted from the bottom up. The short shape is combined with wide stripes and a feminine lacing at the neck that gives the design its characteristic look. The cardigan has a light fit that makes it perfect as an extra layer through spring and summer.

The pattern is written with creativity, knitting joy and clear explanations in mind. The stripes make it easy to use up leftover yarn, and the design gives you plenty of freedom to create your own colour combinations.

• A flexible cast on
• Simple colour changes
• Using stitch markers
• Knitting in and weaving in ends
• Neat finishing

Tjukk Mohair gives the cardigan a light and airy look with a soft halo, while the gold thread creates a discreet play of light that recalls the sun reflected in the sea. Together the yarns give a lively and exclusive look without the garment losing its relaxed summer feeling.

Do not be afraid to make the cardigan your own. Swap the stripe colours around, use leftover yarn or add more shades from the summer palette. Small changes can give a completely new look while the character and fit of the design stay the same.
