Cardigans aren’t just for winter. A mesh or filet crochet cardigan made with lightweight cotton yarn makes a stunning beach cover-up or a chic layering piece for warmer months. The airy, open-work stitch pattern is repetitive, highly meditative, and surprisingly fast to make, making it a wonderful confidence booster for advanced beginners looking to try lace-like designs.
