Learn to knit a lacy summer sweater called Bone. Designer, Martin Storey, describes this sweater as, "V-neck, easy-fit slip over in two lengths. Worked in stacking blocks of pyramid lace for an effortlessly modern and layering piece." There are two versions - one cropped - more like a vest - and one longer - as a sleeveless top.
