Hanging Sun

Hanging Sun is a crochet haori-style cardigan, open front with airy mesh stitch pattern, perfect for cool seasons. I started designing this cardigan when I was waiting a midnight transfer flight in Bangkok airport. While I was making this cardigan, an image of the sun hanging close to the horizon came to my mind. It was beautiful and a reminder of my very first unforgettable trip after the pandemic. Simple and enjoyable ------------------- The construction is straight-line without shaping, offering lots of positive ease. Since it has no waistline, Hanging Sun is considered as a unisex garment. The stitch pattern is easy to follow and enjoyable to make. Various instructions -------------------- Pattern is provided with written instruction, chart, photo tutorial for the special techniques and video tutorials. Color options -------------------- The pattern has been tested with solid colors with great results. It shall also look wonderful with tonal or speckled yarns. If you're using variegated or self-stripping yarns, making a swatch to make sure you're pleased with the result beforehand is probably a good idea.
