A feather-light wonder, this sweater is totally wearable throughout the warmer months. Tunisian ribbing is used for the edges, while an all over Tunisian lace pattern is worked in color-blocked stripes of varying heights. This piece is flattering on any shoulder type, as it was thoughtfully designed with set-in sleeves.
