Is it possible that the whiteness and crispness of a meringue cake be embodied in an item of clothing? Well, it looks like our openwork meringue top has done just that. This is in part thanks to the pure cotton Lincoln yarn.
All that's left to do is to immerse yourself in this pattern and to finish it as soon as possible because, once finished, all you'll want to do is wear our top and revel in the sensation of feeling as light as a cloud. This top will give life even to the simplest pair of jeans.
