Côte Bleue Sweater

A timeless knit inspired by the sea!

Inspires by the soft blues of the mediterranean and effortless charm of the French and Dutch coast, Côte Bleue is a knit made for slow mornings, salty air and sun-filled days.
With this blue hue and timeless feel, this sweater brings together the comfort of handmade knitwear and the understated elegance of coastal living, easy to style, lovely to wear and designed to become a piece you reach for again and again.

Imagine bare feet in the sand, a gentle sea breeze, and your favorite knit thrown around your shoulders. A little piece of coast wherever you are.

Made with the lovely soft
Scheepjes Snowfall 09 Midwinter

I used 4 balls but its also easy too make it with 3 balls of yarn.

It’s an easy knit, also for beginners and a lovely meditative piece for the more advanced. Because of the beautiful grading you want to knit one row future each time.

Totally enjoyed making this piece and pattern and hoping you will find wonderful joy in making it and wearing or gifting it.
