Product Insights
The Crochet Medallion Cardigan by Le 31 is a lightweight openwork knit for spring, summer, and early fall layering, with a comfortable straight fit that is not oversized. Its see-through knit (ecru more transparent than blue) is designed to be worn unbuttoned over a simple tank or tee with classic trousers or denim, achieving looks from casual to smart-casual. Unlike traditional crochet, the reprocessed cotton blend drapes softly and fluidly, feeling gentle on bare skin, and Le 31 positions it as a refined, versatile third layer. For care, fold to store, dry flat and reshape while damp, pull snagged loops to the inside with a crochet hook, and remove pills with a fabric shaver or cashmere comb.
Verified claims

- Openwork knit is likely somewhat see-through when worn over a shirt, especially in lighter colorways like white or ecru.
- Layering
- Ideal for warm weather; style unbuttoned over a solid tank or tee with classic trousers.
- Storage
- Store the cardigan folded, not hanging.
- Drying
- Dry flat and reshape while damp to avoid stretching.
- Snags
- Pull snagged loops to the inside with a crochet hook to hide them.
- Pilling
- Remove pills with a fabric shaver or cashmere comb, not by hand.
- Outfit pairing
- Pairs with simple trousers or denim for looks from casual to smart-casual.
- Drape
- Unlike crochet, the knit fabric drapes softly and fluidly.

- Sustainability

- Brand positioning
- Le 31 positions the cardigan as a refined, versatile third layer.
- Stretch and recovery
- Unlike real crochet, the knitted construction has substantial two-way stretch, so the cardigan flexes with movement and returns to shape rather than bagging.
- Snag prevention
- To avoid snags, put the cardigan on before adding rings, bracelets, watches, or crossbody bags, and keep hands smooth.

Wear it open over a simple base layer
Style this short-sleeve crochet cardigan open over a solid tank top, as shown in the product images. The open crochet lets the layer underneath show through, so a plain base layer can add contrast against the medallion texture. The boxy, waist-length cut with short sleeves is based on how the garment fits the pictured model.[2,3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Crochet Medallion Cardigan: Choose this if you want a boxy, waist-length short-sleeve cardigan with all-over hexagonal medallion crochet motifs in beige and olive tones framed by white trim, made from a soft, stretchy 60% reprocessed cotton and 40% acrylic blend as a Simons exclusive designed in Canada. Its airy openwork crochet is textured and see-through, so skin shows through the fabric, and the polo-style collar, full-length buttons, and straight upper-hip hem suit layering over a tank. It is offered in sizes Medium, Large, and X-Large in Patterned Ecru and Patterned Blue.[1,2,3,4,5] | Lattice Crochet-Knit Shirt Comfort Fit: Choose this if you want a relaxed, boxy short-sleeve shirt with a straight comfort cut that leaves room in the shoulders and sleeves, an open camp collar, and a lightweight, finely openworked crochet-knit in a high-contrast vertical lattice pattern. It is a 50% cotton, 50% polyester blend suited to layered styling, as shown worn open over a tank, and comes in Black, Slate Blue, Dusky Pink, and Burnt/Brick Orange across sizes Small through XX-Large. Note that this Le 31 exclusive is a knit texture piece rather than a smooth woven shirt, so expect a raised, openwork surface.[6,7,8,9,10] | Striped Bouclé-Knit Shirt Comfort Fit: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve button-up in a comfort fit that offers a straight cut with room to move in the shoulders and sleeves, in a textured fine bouclé knit made of 92% organic cotton and 8% polyester. It comes in Green from Small through X-Large and in Blue in Medium and Large, with vertical narrow stripes and a classic spread collar. The front has no visible chest pocket, so skip it if you prefer shirt storage.[11,12] |
