Today I am sharing another amazing summer cardigan I made using the Tina Tape yarn from Wool & the Gang. It has such a fun texture but is super soft to the touch. It also comes in a variety of colors too.

To get some of your own Tina yarn head over to W&TG and check out their amazing selections.

Row 2 – (CH 1 counts as SC) SC in the back loop of every stitch all the way around. CH 1. Turn.

Row 3 – (CH 1 counts as SC) SC in the back loop of every stitch all the way around. Tie off.

 

SEAM SIDES CLOSED FOR ARM HOLES:

Determine how open you would like your armholes to be. I tend to like mine more open. Be sure to seam the same amount on both sides so your cardigan is even.

Then, once you have created the armholes you can add a simple SC border to the sleeve cuffs to give a more finished look!

I hope you enjoy this light-weight cardigan and I would love to see your finished designs! Be sure to tag me in any of your YHN projects @yarnhookneedles or you can use the community tag #yhnmakers

  1. Infinite Vapor

    November 30, 2021 at 4:22 am

    I operate a vape store directory and we have had a posting from a vape shop in the United States that additionally markets CBD items. A Calendar month later, PayPal has written to use to claim that our account has been limited and have asked us to take away PayPal as a payment solution from our vape store website directory. We do not offer for sale CBD products like CBD oil. We only offer marketing services to CBD companies. I have visited Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Reputable Health and wellness Merchant and if you take a close look, you will see that they sell a pretty wide-ranging range of CBD product lines, primarily CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a settlement method. It appears that PayPal is applying twos sets of rules to many different companies. Due to this constraint, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related web site. This has limited my payment choices and now, I am seriously contingent on Cryptocurrency payments and direct bank transfers. I have spoken with a solicitor from a Magic Circle law firm in London and they explained that what PayPal is doing is entirely against the law and inequitable as it ought to be applying a consistent benchmark to all companies. I am yet to check with one more lawyer from a US law practice in The city of london to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the United States. For the time being, I would be highly appreciative if anybody here at targetdomain could offer me with different payment processors/merchants that deal with CBD firms.
