Mazy by Janet Brani is a perfect summer overlay. Crocheted in Ava, this adorable top can be worn over tanks to add a layer of cute with out adding a layer of heat. 

Speaking of adorable, how cute is this?! Shortbread Cookie by Mona Zillah. You can knit up your own cuteness using Cricket, our super soft, DK weight, merino, cashmere, and nylon yarn. 

Up next, Dear Prudence by Afifa, knit in Ava. Bright yarn and lacy sleeves make this a totally wearable summer top.
