Ocean Breeze Sweater

7,50 

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.
