Kesähenkäys –  A Light Knit for Gentle Summer Moments 

Kesähenkäys is a charming, airy knit that brings lightness and softness to summer days and evenings. This design combines classic cable knitting with a romantic, translucent look – a perfect addition to your wardrobe when you desire something soft, beautiful, and comfortable. The sweater is designed to be relaxed and lightweight – it drapes beautifully and feels almost imperceptible on the skin. Short sleeves and a V-neckline make it versatile enough to wear over a summer dress or with jeans. Cable details on both the hem and front add structure and a vintage touch to the knit. Kesähenkäys is knitted with a thin and fluffy yarn, giving it a delicate, translucent effect. This project is suitable for knitters with some experience who want to create something truly special – effortlessly elegant.
