On the Ocean

On the Ocean is a relaxed pullover with a part drop-shoulder, part dolman-style construction. This creates a sweater with a laid-back look that feels both modern and classic. And it’s designed it such a way to be both approachable for newer garment knitters while still being interesting and engaging for those with more experience.

It has top-down construction (including some short rows at the neck for a comfortable fit), and increases are worked at each shoulder to grow the body width. Full construction details can be found below.

It also features all-over wide stripes, though you can opt to work it in a single color if preferred. While the pattern is written with a ribbed neckline, I’ve included an optional rolled mock-neck variation for those who’d like a little more neck coverage (I’ve included photos here that show both options).
