Lacombe, Louisiana. There’s something about wearing lighter colors in the summer that just makes you feel cooler. Sure, chic big-city black is fine for the folks in Manhattan, but step in the blazing southern sun wearing that inky shade and even a lady will quickly find herself, well ... schvitzing! So distressing, it’s a lesson you won’t need to learn twice. This cottony sweater is designed in the ultimate summer color, sunshine yellow. Knit in the round to the underarms, there’s very little finishing work. Hurray! Textural interest comes from the seed stitch bands and saddle shoulders. Designers Carolyn Hughes and Pam McNeely of McNeedles in Lacombe, Louisiana haventhankfully provided natural air conditioning as well as a feminine touch with the lacy inset. This topn is beaming with Louisiana pride, so much we can’t help but sing the state song. All together now: “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine....”

This pattern is only available in the e-book, Deep South Knitting.
