Lunenburg Cardigan and Cap

An homage to classic fisherman knits, the Lunenburg cardigan and cap are a cozy nod to Maritime heritage. Knit in Phoebe, our superfine merino, the cardigan is worked in one piece to the armholes, then divided for the fronts and back. Shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind-off, and sleeves are picked up and knit in the round down to the cuffs. The cable motif features Xs and Os—a reminder of hugs and kisses for every little sea explorer. The matching cap is worked in the round from brim to crown.
