Notes

Testing another beautiful pattern for Bev / Boo-Knits. A very enjoyable and relaxed knit!

please note: I used a lightish fingering yarn, and went down in needle size. To balance this, I worked an additional repeat of the body.

As children, we would spend most of Spring time to look forward to and prepare for the family’s summer vacation at Erquy on the north coast of Bretagne. The water there has the most stunning blues, just like these yarns.
