NOTES
Sea Salt is a comfy hoodie that features dropped shoulders with a generous amount of positive ease and 2/3 sleeves. It is worked from the top down. First, the back is knitted back and forth while you build the shoulders line. Then, you work the shoulders separately and you join them on the front to shape the top of the sweater. Back and front are joined to work in the round. You pick up stitches around the neckline for the hoodie and around the armholes to knit the sleeves in the round.

For finishing, you’ll have to take your leftovers basket and and embroider two types of flowers onto the sweater. Stitches used for the embroidery include the French Knot, the Lazy Daisy Stitch and the Spider Stitch.
