Sidewalk Sweater
The Sidewalk Sweater is a top-down saddle-shoulder sweater featuring a unique sidewalk texture on the body and along the shoulders and sleeves. This pattern has been tech edited and test knit in all sizes. Matching made-to-measure pet sweater pattern included!
My designs are hand-knit postcards of San Francisco, and one of my favorite things about the city is its walkability. I love that I can walk to my favorite restaurants, cafes, and parks, and this sweater is an ode to the sidewalks that take me there.
