Four knitted short-sleeved cardigans in lightweight yarns for spring and summer with different textures and fits.

Easy summer knitting - 4 cardigans with short sleeves

Four knitted cardigans with short sleeves - light and summery projects for warmer days.

As the weather gets warmer, the knitwear should also get a little lighter.
In this collection, I've found four short-sleeved knitted cardigans that are perfect for summer and milder days. They're easy to layer over a top or dress and work well as an extra layer when the temperature changes throughout the day.
Short-sleeved cardigans are a great alternative to both sweaters and shawls. They provide a little warmth without feeling heavy and can be worn both inside and out.
Common to all models is that they have a light and summery look.
Either through yarn choice, structure or fit.
They're great for spring and summer knitwear where you want something that's both versatile and comfortable to wear.
Scroll down and see all four recipes together. Maybe you'll find your next summer project here.
