Mixing athleisure with graphic lacework is probably the last thing one might expect from crochet, yet here it is—Mēness, a perfect, everyday throw-it-on piece that is as dynamic and captivating as the stitches it features. From the flattest slip stitches up to the tall double trebles ending with short row shoulder lines, this light sweater embodies effortlessness and easiness.
