Starlight Summer Knit Cardie

Starlight Summer Knit Cardie is The Knitters Studio's featured knitting 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 knit 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 Knit Cardie is the sister pattern of the Starlight Summer Crochet Cardie. **Materials:** MC- Cardiff Prime, 68% Cashmere, 32% Silk, 328yds (300m) per 25g ball: balls or Sweet Georgia Merino Silk Lace, 50% Fine Merino Wool, 50% Cultivated Silk, 765yds (700m) per 100g skein: 1 [1, 1, 1, 1] (1, 2, 2, 2, 2) skeins; 560 [600, 620, 670, 690] (740, 775, 860, 890, 990) yds; 512 [548, 567, 612, 630] (677, 708, 786, 814, 900) 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 -US 5 (3.75 mm) 24” (60 cm) or 32” (80 cm) circular needle or size to obtain gauge -US 3 (3.25 mm) 24” (60 cm) or 32” (80 cm) circular needle -US 3 (3.25) double pointed needles -Tapestry needle **Gauge:** 25 sts and 28 rows = 4” (10 cm) in Star Stitch after blocking with US 5 (3.75 mm) needle or size to obtain gauge.
