The inspiration for this sweater comes from a day at the beach! I love the colours at the beach, where the blue ocean and sky meet the sand and shore. As the waves break, they form ridges of white foam that last for just a short while. I have tried to capture some of those colours and seafoam ridges in this easy-to-wear sweater. The jumper is knitted bottom-up in the round, with a yoke for a seamless finish, and is slightly shaped at the waist.
Skill level: easy
