Bayocean Tee - Digital Knitting Pattern

$7.00

The Bayocean Sweater was inspired by the way light plays in the spray of the sea, which is echoed in lightly textured vertical lines on the body, and a sprinkle of bobbles for the neckline and cuffs.

Bayocean is worked from the bottom up in the round. It has a drop-shoulder construction and three-quarter length sleeves, making it lightweight and super layer-able. The applied I-Cord with bobbles in a contrasting color provides the perfect, fun finish.
