Crochet Summer Lace Cardigan - Designer’s Pick Summer Blog Hop
If you are anything like me, then you want an easy light crochet project during the spring and summer months. Both in sense to make and to wear. Cotton, lace and something that is easy to wear and to bring with you while out and about.
A cardigan that gives warmth but isn’t too warm, that can be worn in town or at the beach. A project that is easily mobile to bring with you to crochet in the park or in the car while traveling around. Look no more this is the summer lace crochet cardigan or beach cover up you are looking for!

In collaboration with over 30 designers and organised by RaeLynn from Itchin’ for some stitchin’ and Hannah from HanJan Crochet let me introduce the Designer’s Pick Summer Blog Hop!
Running from the 1th of June until the 2nd Of July we will presents 1 crochet pattern per day that has been picked by that days designer. Most patterns are brand new and exclusive for this event! We’ve reached the 11th of June and today is my day to present my pattern to you - The Tulip Lace Cardigan!

Yarn usage: 5 (6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11) skeins
Crochet hook size: 5 mm / H-8 and optional 5.5 mm / I-9
Darning needle to weave in ends

How it works
First let’s go through how the blog hop works. For 24 hours 1 pattern will be available for free through the blog hop. You find the code you’ll need to get it through the round up page. You’ll then access the pattern through the link to Ravelry on each designer’s page (for mine it is this page, grab it through below button).
Since this event is named “Designer’s pick” - let me tell you why I decided to make this cardigan. Last year I made my Summer Haze Cardigan as a light elegant cardigan to wear all through the summer. It quickly became a favourite of mine (and many of yours as well!) and I wanted to replicate it this year again, without creating a duplicate item. So for The Tulip Lace Cardigan I decided to make it a speedy lace cardigan with easier lace. Many of my testers made this cardigan in around 10 hours! It uses a worsted weight yarn weight, which is one of the secrets behind the speed. This cardigan is made using Comfy Worsted from WeCrochet. WeCrochet kindly gave yarn support for all the yarns in this event, thank you!
