Baltic Sea Sweater
Baltic Sea Sweater features an all over textured pattern, reminding of the ripples the wind makes at sea. It is a roomy sweater with lots of space, so that you will feel comfortable and warm all day. The design is a straight drop shoulder construction, worked from the bottom up. The neckband is folded and sits close to the neck for extra warmth. I have used a Gotland and Falkland merino mix, which is excellent for long walks by the sea.
I encourage you to start from the measurements given in the pattern and feel free to adapt the sweater to your own body measurements. In the pattern you´ll find a guidance section on how to choose your size and to make the adaptions needed for a well fitting sweater. Best of luck!
