Here’s a little something to layer over your warm weather looks: BRYNNA.

I needed something light & easy to travel with for all those evenings (and indoor air conditioning) and voila! A no-sew, lacy little cardi was born…

The sample used HEMPATHY but I now have another one going using a cotton alpaca blend (SERENA) that is turning out really gorgeous.

BRYNNA features a no-sew construction in an easy-to-work lace pattern finished with a pretty but simple open-work neckband in DK weight yarn. This is a design that works well with wool or cotton (or all the blends – silk – bamboo, etc).

(It also is easy to modify to make it longer whether you want a more traditional length sweater or longer sleeves.)
