SHORE WALK CARDIGAN
………………………………………………

Winding its way along the cliffs, across the marshes, and past secluded coves, the Shore Walks of Inishowen form their own microcosms… with their own unpredictable micro-climates. From gentle idyllic sunshine, to rapid temperature drops, startling gusts of wind, and even the occasional hail storm, you never know what sort of weather will find you on the shore walk. It is best to be prepared, with the Shore Walk Cardigan.

A simple top-down garter stitch knit, the Shore Walk Cardigan is a chameleon. With a few quick button-flicks, it transform from a frolicsome sailor-collar top, to a fully fortified jacket ready to brace the elements. 

Wear it closed, or wear it open. And prepare to make several - because wear it you shall!
