Beach Street Park is worked from the bottom up in one piece. The sleeves are worked separately and joined to the body before working the yoke.

My concept when designing this sweater was to create a light, drapey sweater that is as easy to wear as your favorite sweatshirt, but much more elegant. This is a sweater you will turn to again, and again. Beach Street Park should be worked at a loose gauge for the yarn to give the sweater a soft drape. It should be worn with about 0-2” of ease in the bust. The model in the photos is wearing the 36” with no ease.

The yoke features an array of double yarn overs.
