Cakewalk sweater

The Cakewalk sweater is the perfect lightweight summer top.

It’s as comfy and feels as cool as it looks and the drape is incredible. It also is easy to knit, so even a beginner knitter can do this. The body is knitted with the main color and each sleeve is knitted with a complimentary color, or of course you can also stick with a single color.
