When winter bares its angry icy fangs, it is nice to think back on those blissful days of summer. Salty air in your face, sun warming your back, and a bucket of seashells in your hand. By the seashore is a lightweight cowl that can be worn outside as a layer against the winds of winter as well as inside to remind you that summer isn’t really all that far away. This weekend knit is also great for that beach-combing friend of yours that needs a bit of sunshine on a dreary day.
