We’re one week away from Memorial Day, which is the unofficial start to summer in the DMV. The upcoming long weekend has us dreaming of summer vacations. What better to bring to your next summer trip than this amazing vest? Knit in Kelbourne Woolens Mojave (a cotton/linen blend), the Sea Breeze Sweater Vest is an on-trend mesh top that works perfectly as a layering piece for those sweltering summer days, or as a pool/beachside coverup for perusing the boardwalk when you need a break from the sun. The short dolman sleeves and V-neck give it a sporty vibe that pairs perfectly with Barbados shorts or a skirt. And, the mesh pattern is a breeze, making this project the perfect quick knit to jump-start your summer knitting. It would also be a lightweight travel project, if you have plans for the long weekend!
