I knit this sweater as part of the KAL (Knit-A-Long) for the AKC group on Ravelry (find us here!). After knitting Vintage ‘83 I was on a kick for another summer sweater. I modified this sweater pattern and I love how it turned out! This is the perfect sweater for spring and summer. Find my pattern modifications below.
I styled mine here with my favorite high waisted jeans, birkenstocks, and my new Six Hand hat.

Jeans
I love Mother brand jeans. They are so comfy and flattering and also made in the USA! This pair in particular is definitely my favorite. The denim is super stretchy and soft so I recommend sizing down. They can be found below.
Birkenstocks
Basic, comfy, wear with everything – a summer staple. You can find mine at the link below.
Earrings
I bought these after seeing them on one of my style icons, the Duchess of Cambridge. They have long since sold out but I found similar ones linked below.
I can’t wait to show you the test knit I’ve been working on. The pattern is set to be released later this week!
Cheers!
