Named for the advancing ripples of the evening tide, Marea is a unique cardigan that is a study of both texture and construction. Patterned with spaced purl ridges, this loose and easy cardigan is worked from each sleeve cuff upwards, then seamed down the sleeves, sides, and back to join each half for a sideways construction with a dash of origami magic thrown in. Perfect for chilly evenings on the coast, you’ll find this cardigan both an engaging knit and a joy to wear.
