Mesh fabrics are definitely on trend this season. This cardigan design from Berroco is knit in Pima 100 for a light spring and summer layer. Tosca is a drop shoulder mesh cardigan with a high-low hem. The super soft cotton offers crisp stitch definition, making the lattice work mesh pattern pop. And the open mesh design allows for just enough warmth in the AC while keeping you from overheating under the hot sun. The high-low hem offers an on-trend silhouette that will complement nearly any outfit, from dresses to jeans. Even though this cardigan is seamed, the drop shoulder construction makes the finishing work a breeze. We absolutely can’t wait to see what colors you pick out to make one of your very own.
