The Shoreline Boatneck

This listing includes two patterns: The Shoreline Boatneck (Aran weight) and The Shoreline Boatneck Light (DK weight). The Shoreline Boatneck is a relaxed, boxy garment designed for effortless summer wear. Featuring clean lines, a soft boat neckline, and subtle ribbed finishes, this piece combines simplicity with a polished look. This pattern is ideal for knitters who enjoy straightforward construction with a professional finish. It’s worked from the bottom up in the round to the armholes, then divided into front and back pieces and worked flat before seaming the shoulders. Armholes are finished with neat 2x2 ribbing for structure. The neckline is left clean for a naturally rolled edge, giving the garment a modern and minimal aesthetic.
