Modern Cardigan patterns

For spring and summer, I adore short cardigans. The beautiful workmanship on the back of this one in particular drew my attention. It has a cute little checkerboard pattern that you crochet in, which is actually a lot easier than it appears.

The cardigan has long sleeves and hits at the waist or a little higher, so it's a fantastic option if you're looking for something a little shorter. The design is very straightforward to follow, which is vital if you are new to crocheting.
