We're obsessed with fun, lightweight summer patterns that we can work up in time to enjoy this summer, and we absolutely love the Worsted Merino Superwash Serape (pattern 127A) from the @PlymouthYarn Design Studio. Here's why: it's lightweight, lacy, open, and easy to pair with dresses, leggings, shorts, skirts, or whatever else you're wearing this summer. It's knitted in Plymouth Yarn Worsted Merino Superwash, a yarn you'll absolutely love for simple lace patterns like this one. Check out their other featured patterns at https://www.plymouthyarn.com/patterns/featured
