This boxy pullover combines mesh with Trinity stitch in horizontal panels to create a wearable mesh top. The drop-shoulder sleeves are designed for a relaxed fit, and the wide, trim ballet neckline allows the garment to be a little slouchy. It accompanies the article, “Designing with Mesh,” in the Summer 2024 issue of Cast On.
