Annapolis

In my daydreams I am incredibly rich and spend summers sailing around the Chesapeake on my gorgeous yacht. No matter that I have zero sailing experience. In these dreams, I’m always dressed like RachelMcAdams in Wedding Crashers: vibrant headscarf, gauzy pants and the perfect white cotton summer sweater. After spending years looking for such a sweater, I finally decided to design one myself. This is a sweater for cool summer evenings, moonlit walks on a breezy beach and, yes, afternoons on the yacht with the wind whipping through your hair. It’s knit at a loose gauge in sport weight yarn, so it’s light and airy and features an easy-to-memorize stitch pattern.

Finished bust circumference 33.5 (38.5, 42, 46.5, 50.5)". Sample in Knit Picks shown in 38.5” andMrs Crosby shown in 42”.

Gauge20 sts and 24 rows = 4” / 10cm in Knot Stitch Pattern on size 8 (5 mm) needles.
