This light sweater incorporates a simple mesh motif for cool summer days and warm winter nights. This pattern is easy to knit and remember, so you can create it on-the-go. Uncomplicated and effortless to make – a rhythmic pattern repeat which is soothing to work; consisting of a simple lace and dropped rib. No shaping - top down, with no seams.

ENJOY!
Bestest of wishes
