Starlight Summer Crochet Cardie

Starlight Summer Crochet Cardie is The Knitters Studio's featured crochet pattern for the 2026 Puget Sound LYS Tour. It's the perfect garment for a beautiful summer evening when the sun disappears over the horizon, and you need a light layer to keep the chill off your shoulders. The cardie is crocheted in one piece from the bottom up with a fun and easy-to-work lace pattern. It's made from a luxuriously soft, light-as-air yarn that is a pleasure to knit with and wear. Starlight Summer Crochet Cardie is the sister pattern of the Starlight Summer Knit Cardie. **Materials**: MC- Cardiff Prime 68% Cashmere, 32% Silk, 328yds (300m) per 25g ball: 2 [3, 3, 3, 3] (3, 3, 4, 4, 4) balls or Sweet Georgia Merino Silk Lace, 50% Fine Merino Wool, 50% Cultivated Silk, 765yds (700m) per 100g skein: 1 [2, 2, 2, 2] (2, 2, 2, 2, 2) skeins; 680 [730, 770, 790, 840] (900, 940, 996, 1030, 1148) yds; 621 [667, 704, 722, 768] (822, 859, 911, 944, 1,050) m CC: (optional if using Sweet Georgia yarn) Urth 16 Fingering, 100% Ultra Fine SW Merino Wool, 220yds (200m) per 50g skein: 1 skein, 50 [50, 55, 60, 65] (70, 75, 80, 85, 90) yds; 45 [45, 50, 55, 60] (64, 68, 73, 77, 82) m Size E (3.5mm) crochet hook or size to obtain gauge Tapestry needle **Gauge:** 25 sts and 11 rows = 4” (10 cm) in Shell Stitch after blocking with Size E (3.5mm) crochet hook or size to obtain gauge.
