Inspired by the oversize sweaters Japanese women wear throughout the summer to protect their skin from the sun, Sonation is a lightweight lacy pullover perfect for spring and summer. The chevron stitch pattern is easy to memorize and makes it a soothing, easy knit with no shaping to keep track of.

ERRATA
note, originally pattern said US 6 for needle size. Unless you are a VERY tight knitter there’s no way you can get gauge with a US 6! Should be a US 4. Updating the pattern on 3-22-17. I’m so sorry if this has caused you trouble. Please always remember to do a gauge swatch!
