The weathered tones of driftwood, beach grass, wet sand, grey skies, and rolling waves are inexorably linked with this sweater in my mind. Inset sleeves, a shawl collar, and English tailored shoulders give it the comfort a man wants for serious beachcombing. Inspired by Long Beach on Vancouver Island, the rugged location just calls out for a sweater like this to brave the challenge of the waves and the wind.

This knitting pattern includes written directions, front and back images, and a schematic with measurements.
