Sea Comb

Imagine wandering on the beach, combing for shells and sea glass. The waves are gently hitting the shore. Sea Comb evokes your steady footsteps followed by those quiet moments with the simple rib and cable pattern and the ‘sea’ of stocking stitch. Those quiet moments are reflected in the relaxing knitting process as the cable stitches are created with no cable needle and the strong heel is created with just increases and decreases.
