Open Front Crochet Lace Longline Cardigan

A sheer open-front cardigan worked in an allover medallion lace, edged with a picot-style trim down each front panel. It has no buttons or fastening, so it falls straight and loose over whatever is underneath, with three-quarter sleeves and a hem that reaches past the hip. The fabric is airy and slightly textured, giving cover without heat on hot days. Wear it over a bandeau and denim shorts on holiday, or across a slip dress for evening. It packs down small enough to keep in a beach bag all summer.

• Fit: Loose, open front
• Length: Longline, past the hip
