Named for a favourite local beach, the comfortable, customizable, inclusively sized Osborne Bay sweater is just the thing for getting out and about on a chilly day. Osborne Bay features an unusual cuff-to-centre construction with subtle A-line shaping, a split hem, and cables that flow up the sleeve into the mock turtle neck. The pattern includes instructions for adjusting the front neck depth, adjusting the length, and adding to the front width while keeping the fit at the neck and shoulders. It also contains an illustrated tutorial for working the German short rows for the A-line shaping and body circumference adjustments.
To make Osborne Bay, you will need to know how to knit, purl, pick up stitches, and seam. Some experience with cables will be helpful, but not necessary.
