Ocean breeze sweater

Knitting is not only a creative and relaxing occupation, in times as these it also is invaluable as a sort of therapy, an opportunity to make enriching encounters and come together with other knitters. Last but not least, it’s a wonderful way to make your own sustainable wardrobe.

Description
The ocean breeze sweater is knit from the bottom up, with the arms cast on separately and sewn into the armhole in the end. Its “oversize” style makes it a very comfortable daily wear that matches with jeans as well as tighter skirts, which will underline its width. Keep in mind when choosing your yarn to opt for light material that will drape gently around the body. The pattern is very simple and accessible even for beginning knitters as it offers a variety of options regarding length, neckline and finishing techniques.
The yarn used in this model is a combination of sock yarn and kid mohair, but you can use a single yarn as well that fits the gauge.
