Although yellow is not one of my favorite colors. I decided to use it for this crochet Sunny lace cardi design. The high-low hem gives this casual coat a chic finished touch while the vivid color would bring out a sophisticated look when pairing with black outfit. Furthermore, I really need to work on some bright color crochet projects these days.

Materials: ( I used )
3mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: yellow ( about 400 gr for the sample – size XL/ 50 gr or 136 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂
Special stitches used:
2dc – V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.
This crochet Sunny lace cardi pattern fits size XL ( chest size: 40 to 42 inches ).
