A crochet cardigan like this one is built for the days when you want something to throw over a bikini top and still look finished. The open chevron weave runs the full length of both sleeves, a soft tie sits at the front instead of buttons, and a scalloped edge finishes the hem and cuffs. You can wear it loose and open or knot the tie at your waist for a cropped shape. It photographs as put-together as it feels to grab on the way out the door.
The tie-front is the detail that makes this one easy to actually wear. Most crochet cardigans in this style use small buttons that are fiddly with wet or sandy hands, so a simple tie you can knot in one motion is the more useful choice at the beach. Worth knowing before you order: the weave is genuinely open, so this reads as a coverage layer over a swimsuit rather than a piece you'd wear on its own. If you want something more solid for evening, this isn't the one.
It's cut with a relaxed, dropped-shoulder shape that sits loose through your arms and body, and the coverage is open by design, so you'll see whatever you're wearing underneath through the weave. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.
It's made from a crochet-knit polyester yarn, which is what gives the open chevron pattern its structure and hold. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer. Reshape it gently while damp so it keeps its line for your next wear.
It's the piece you'll reach for on the days you can't decide what to wear over your swimsuit - one tie, done, and you're out the door without a second thought.
What size crochet cardigan should I order if I'm between sizes?
Take the larger of the two. The weave has some give, but a size up sits better over a swimsuit than a size that pulls at the tie.
Is the weave see-through?
Yes, it's an open chevron crochet, so you'll see through to whatever you're wearing underneath - it's designed as a coverage layer, not a standalone top.
What is it made from?
It's made from a crochet-knit polyester yarn. We're not given a percentage breakdown, so we won't guess one for you.
