Women's Lightweight Open Front Knit Cardigan - Chevron Pointelle

This lightweight open front knit cardigan is the layering piece that works across every season you need a layer but not a coat. The construction is a chevron pointelle knit — a repeating zigzag openwork pattern that runs through the body and sleeves, which keeps the fabric breathable while giving it a texture that reads as intentional rather than basic. The silhouette is relaxed and slightly oversized, hitting below the hip. Elbow-length sleeves, open front with no closure, scalloped hem at the bottom edge. It drapes rather than fits, which is the point. Available in nine colorways from khaki and white to pink, mint blue, and silver — the texture reads differently in each color depending on how the light hits the openwork.

What Makes This Knit Cardigan Extraordinary

• Chevron pointelle knit construction — the zigzag openwork pattern runs through the full body and sleeves, the texture is structural not decorative, it holds its shape wash after wash
• Relaxed oversized silhouette hitting below the hip — the drape is the design, not a fit issue; this reads intentionally loose the way a cover-up or layer is supposed to
• Elbow-length sleeves — the sleeve hits mid-forearm, long enough for warmth and short enough for warm weather layering without overheating
• Open front with no closure — no buttons, no zipper, no tie; the front falls open and stays open, which keeps the styling relaxed and the layering clean
• Scalloped hem — the bottom edge is finished with a scalloped knit border that matches the pointelle pattern throughout
• Nine colorways — Khaki, Black, Light Yellow, Pink, Silver, Blue, Mint Blue, Green, White — same construction and silhouette across all colors

✨ Picture this thrown over a cami and denim shorts on a warm evening, or layered over a swimsuit at the beach — the chevron knit catching the light, the open front moving with you, the silhouette doing the work that only a well-cut layer can do.

Perfect For

• Vacation and resort wear — the open pointelle knit and lightweight fabric make this the cover-up that actually looks like an outfit
• Summer evenings when the temperature drops just enough to want a layer but not enough for anything heavier
• Layering over camisoles, crop tops, swimsuit coverups, and dresses without adding visual bulk
• Shoppers who want one cardigan in multiple colorways — the construction is consistent, the color mood shifts completely

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the sizing run?
A: Available in XS through XL. The silhouette is relaxed and oversized by design — the cardigan drapes rather than fits close to the body. Size to your standard size; the fit is intentionally loose through the torso and shoulders.

Q: Is the knit see-through?
A: The pointelle openwork is an open-knit pattern — there is negative space in the fabric, similar to a lace knit. A camisole or top underneath is standard styling for this construction. The openwork is part of the design, not a flaw.

Q: How do I care for this cardigan?
A: Hand wash cold or machine wash on delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry — do not tumble dry as the knit can stretch when wet under heat. The pointelle structure holds best when dried flat.

Q: Does the open front gap or shift while wearing?
A: The open front is designed to fall and drape naturally. There is no closure, so the front moves with the body. Styling with a belt at the waist is an option if you prefer a more defined silhouette.
