Walk on the Beach Cardi Design

It’s officially the first weekend of spring! Hallelujah! Although, it’s not quite feeling like spring. We are getting our third winter storm of March this weekend. It’s crazy. Our sixth month of winter weather. And April will most likely still be winter. At this point, I really am feeling a little bit like I need out of this state.

On the plus side, I have my two florida trips this month and thank goodness for that! I worked up this latest design over the last two weeks in preparation for the first trip.

I used the alpachino merino wool yarn from Wool and the Gang for this one, it’s so cuddly. I love it. I used this yarn also for my Bring me coffee cardi pattern and it’s held up incredibly, especially being it’s my most worn cardigan!

I worked this up all in a 1×1 twisted rib stitch and mesh stitch. Mesh stitch is so awesome for spring and summer knits as it’s open and airy. It’s perfect for using for a more chunky weight yarn where you want to have a little warmth, but also not too warm. This yarn and this stitch balance each other out so well.

I used two sizes of straight needles for this design. A 8mm and 12mm (12 US and 17 US) and 5 skeins of the Alpachino merino yarn. I did include sizing edits for a smaller and larger fit in the pattern as well!

Knitting skills needed are longtail cast on, twisted rib stitch, yarn over, knit two stitches together, picking up stitches, bind off, and seaming.
