The LINE cardi is the perfect summer layer that you’ll reach for again and again. Knit in a cotton/linen/viscose yarn, this fabric is cool and breezy while at the same time being squishy and comforting. The LINE cardi is knit from the top down in a seamless construction and features a set in sleeve, a double knit button band and a timeless garter stripe detail throughout that is finished with a 1x1 rib detail at the cuffs and hem. The overall fit of the cardigan is slightly oversized but is tailored enough to be worn over a t-shirt or summer dress.
