KNITTING PATTERN - OCEAN BREEZE CARDIGAN

Pattern Type: Knitting

Level: EASY+

Ocean Breeze Cardigan

What’s one garment in your closet that you consider a summer essential? For me, it’s this boxy & oversized cardigan I can throw on before I head to the beach. The early morning (and later evening) breeze from the ocean is refreshing but can also be a bit chilly. I wanted to design a piece that is no fuss, easy to knit and casual in style. This oversized cardigan easily layers over a tank top for that light layer of coziness when needed. Knit in Lion Brand Mandala Bonus Bundle, there’s no need to weave in additional ends — the colors change seamlessly!
