Beach Life by Boho Chic | Beach Life is the perfect crisp and cozy sweater for layering on a trip to the beach! New England beaches can be breezy and cool and I wanted a simple cotton pullover to wear for bonfires and dog walks on the beach; Beach Life is the end result! The sweater features an oversized, boxy body with a split, uneven hemline. The sweater is knit in reverse stockinette and features some ribbing up the center-front that splits for the V neckline. Knit up in Valley Yarns Hawley yarn, it is quick to knit and the cotton/ silk blend makes it perfect for spring-fall weather!
