★ Your new favorite layer, all year long

No wardrobe is complete without the perfect layering piece, and the Diamond Crochet Cardigan fits almost any season. The filet diamond pattern lets just enough peek through for a grown up look with the perfect amount of whimsy.

It’s the cozy companion to the Shine Like A Diamond Tank Top. The tank beats the summer heat, and this cardigan has you covered for the rest of the year. A free version is also on my blog.
