This coat is designed to be classic and simple in style, with just enough decorative detail in the form of faux piping. Large size buttons and oversized patch pockets also make a fashion statement, as well as being functional. The Aereo yarn used in the pattern is very light and airy, making this garment warm but not heavy. Using a solid neutral color will make this coat a timeless piece you will enjoy wearing for many seasons.

Raegan is the perfect transition piece for the slow shift into cooler weather. Chain stitches and strategically placed post crochets make up the fabric of this sweater giving the front and back the appearance of soft triangular intersections that resemble cable bridge supports. Heavy worsted yarn makes this a relatively fast project, while its unique mesh makes it light and comfortable for cool weather wear.

Looking forward to spring beach days? Us too! The white caps on turquoise blue waves inspired this cardigan that features unique lace stitches in a wavy pattern that lets whatever color shirt you wear underneath show through. We’re partial to ocean blues, but this cardigan looks wonderful paired with coral, green and lilac shades too.
