Schoodic Bay Cardigan
Winding pine carpeted trails, Rosa Ragosa and sea grass sweeping against a granite framed shoreline, crashing waves against the shore…trails and textures to be explored and enjoyed. I imagined this cardigan while playing on vacation. Knit with a relaxed and loose gauge in DK/light worsted weight, it’s perfect for exploring the shore, mountains, or downtown…dress it up or down and you’re ready to travel!
