"This stylish open cardigan is the epitome of elegance in a knitwear item! Gorgeous alpaca/silk yarn is knit in a lace stitch pattern with just enough openness to keep it light and airy, but not so much that the cardigan loses its structure.
The silk content of the yarn allows this piece to glide over your shoulders and drape beautifully over tank tops, maxi dresses, long-sleeve blouses and so much more. Its simple structure makes it an easy project to create and also the perfect item to fold flat to pack for your next weekend trip or summer escape.
The open front, cocoon silhouette is just what youll reach for whenever theres the slightest hint of a chill. A sophisticated alternative to the rectangular ro triangular shawls that require a shawl pin."
