Drifting Tides

Drifting Tides is an oversized, boxy sweater inspired by the shoreline. The design is knit from the bottom up in the round and features a slip stitch pattern which creates little waves of contrasting colors along the bottom edge. Designed to be worn loose with lots of positive ease, this sweater is perfect for layering year round for a stroll on the beach. Knit up in Biscotte Yarns La Douce MCN yarn, a blend of merino, nylon, and cashmere, the sweater is soft, and smooth, and has a lovely drape.
