This time I dug into my yarn stash to see if I might have a decent amount of any one type of yarn to start a project to give a little protection from the chill after a warm day. Thankfully I found a decent stock of lime green yarn hiding in the midst of a re-purposed laundry basket. This bunch was given to me by an awesome relative that gives away bags full of yarn from time to time. I count myself very lucky to have such great relations.
This yarn is called Kara and is made by Austermann. It has a beautiful shine to it and feels soft and smooth against the skin. On the downside, it likes to snag. It seems to be a fiber core with a woven sheath around it. This sheath is strong and will catch on any little rough spot on your hand. As I was looking up this yarn online I found that it is discontinued, so this may not end up being a problem for you.
With spring in the wings and summer coming up fast, I decided that it was time for a little layer that wouldn't get in the way and could be thrown over a tank top, bathing suit, or dress. This is what came about. The texture reminds me of unplied yarn, while the fabric shines and waves like leaves on the tree. I hope you enjoy it too.

The charts
for this section are shown in their simplest form, so they all contain
different amounts of rows. These charts
will still be repeated sequentially through this portion of the pattern. So on
the first pass through, after row 80 has been completed from each chart in the
round; the next round will contain rows 81 from the arm and center charts and
will repeat rows 71 from the increase sections with an extra repeat. If you get confused, see the written
instructions.
