The McVie Sweater is designed to be layered over favorite summer staples like tanks, camisoles and dresses. It also looks great with rolled-up jeans. The eyelets in the body and sleeves serve two purposes – they keep this already lightweight garment nice and breezy, and they let pops of color and print show through. The sleeves are loose fitting and bracelet length, ideal for showing off chunky bangles, leather cuffs or camp-made friendship bracelets.

Knit flat and seamed, this drop-shoulder sweater features very simple construction, but it does require time and attention to detail in the finishing – unless you feel comfortable using a sewing machine to stitch it up, as I did for my sample. Then it flies by in no time!
