Pointelle Knit Slit Beach Cover Up

An open pointelle stitch runs across this easy beach layer, letting air move while still shading the shoulders. The V neckline and dropped short sleeves keep it loose, and deep side slits fall open with each step so it never clings over a damp swimsuit. Soft acrylic yarn gives the knit a light, springy drape that packs down small in a beach bag. Throw it over a bikini for the walk to the water, or wear it with denim shorts for a seaside lunch.
