quick + purly: 5 linen cardigans

I'm sorry to be late publishing this for you - Saturday's trunk show took up all of my bandwidth, but it also inspired this q+p, since Jill has loads of wonderful summer-weight yarns (lots with linen) at Yarns in the Farms. Since it is beginning to feel a lot like summer, here are some lovely options for you...

This ended up being a more challenging search than I had expected. As a woman with an ample endowment, those waterfall cardigans don't often work for me, nor do all those little top-down things that only button at the top. V-necks and U-necks are more flattering for m, though I think they are a little more challenging to design.

1. Fine Sand by Heidi Kirrmaier $6.80 USD 

   

   Open-front but with enough fabric to flatter

2. Le Jardin Cardi by Hélène Rush $6.25 USD 

   

   Love the different stitch patterns

3. Kowloon Cardigan by Connie Chang Chinchio $7 USD 

   

   Great shape and special collar/buttonband

4. Morning Glory by Pam Allen $6 USD 

   

   Just enough little details to make this special

5. Silver Ghost by Annamária Ötvös $6.50 USD 

   

   This looks like one of those patterns you might make again and again
