Design Details and Benefits
- Stitch pattern repeats in even rows top to bottom - keeps the drape consistent instead of pulling unevenly in one spot
- Drop shoulder seam - takes the sleeve weight off the shoulder line so it hangs rather than tugs
The crochet is doing double duty here: it's open enough to feel like nothing on a hot afternoon, but the stitch is tight and even enough that the shape holds rather than sagging by evening. That's the detail that usually goes wrong with a cheap knit cover-up. Worth knowing before you buy: this is genuinely see-through between the stitches, so it's built to go over a bikini, not to replace one. If you want something to wear alone, this isn't it, but as a throw-on for the walk from sunbed to bar, the openwork earns its place.
