Seabreeze Sweater



I’ve finally finished my Seabreeze Sweater and taken photos!! It’s a bit warm to wear just yet but I’m really pleased with the way it turned out. It’s a little more close fitting than I’m used to but very comfortable. I’ve been wearing shapeless boxy tops for too long I think.









The yarn is soooo nice to work with. I used Apple Laine's Apple Pie yarn.

With a 2mm circular needle, I cast on 240 sts, joined and placed markers at the raglan increase points. 80 / 3 / 34 / 3 / 80 / 3 / 34 / 3

Knit in 2 x 2 ribbing, increasing 8 sts. every 2nd round, until armhole depth is reached (10” in my case).

Then divide for body and sleeves. Body = 328 sts. Sleeves = 130 sts.

I'll see if I can decipher the rest of my notes later.
