Open Reef Sweater Kit

Description

The Open Reef Sweater is inspired by leisurely days at the beach and laughter-filled moments with loved ones. With its flattering cropped fit, this crochet design boasts a gentle boat neck, bracelet length sleeves, and a fan stitch trim around the neck. The lace fabric is created with the iris stitch, a simple single row repeat that offers a meditative crochet experience.

Designed in The Fibre Co.’s Amble—a mix of Easy-wash Merino wool and alpaca as well as recycled nylon—this sweater is not only soft to the touch but resilient and easy to care for. Wear it over a swimsuit for a sun-soaked day at the beach, pair it with jeans for a relaxed evening out, or layer it atop a crisp linen blouse to elevate your office look. Wherever it accompanies you, the Open Reef Sweater is sure to evoke fond memories of sandy shores.
