The Bike Path Sweater is knit top-down with a drop shoulder construction. It features dramatic cabled bike paths, grass-like moss stitch, and unique gradient ribbing at the hems. This pattern has been tech edited and test knit in all sizes. Matching made-to-measure pet sweater pattern included!

The Bike Path Sweater is inspired by the parallel winding paths at Panhandle Park in San Francisco. It’s a hand-knit postcard that celebrates the park and the cyclists that bring it to life.
