Openwork Floral Crochet Knit Cardigan

Big open medallions worked in a fine crochet stitch give this layer its texture and its transparency. A V neckline drops to a row of small shell-toned buttons, and a scalloped border traces the front edge and the hem so nothing looks unfinished. Long sleeves flare gently towards the wrist for a seventies mood. Worn buttoned it works as a top with wide trousers, or leave it open over a slip dress in summer. Two pale shades keep the texture the focus.

• Fit: Relaxed through the body, flared sleeves
