PRODUCT: hand knitting pattern for Sea Breeze Cardi.

PUBLISHED: October 2018

INTRODUCTION
The gradient colors from Featherfin’s yarn were what inspired the color dip-dye look of this design, to create color interest in a simple way with a bit of texture along the border. Holding the DK weight yarn double creates a sturdy fabric for a cardigan garment. While on a cruise, I finalized the design for this piece The sound of waves and the different shades of the water splashing up against the ship inspired the name, Sea Breeze Cardi. I always dream about cozy knit garments to wrap around me during early fall mornings or chilly late summer evenings. I hope this knit becomes a cozy wardrobe piece for you, too!
Cable charts are at the end of the pattern for those who prefer to follow charts.
