About this sweater:
Named after the Skaha lake in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia Canada, this sweater is great for cool evenings and relaxing at the park. This is a raglan sweater with 1 inch of positive ease worked from the bottom up. Depending on the amount of ease you would like you can either choose to go up or down a size. There is a basket weave panel in the centre front that adds interest and texture.

It is knit in worsted weight yarn and is an interesting knit with unique increases.
