Channel the coastal vibe all year long!

Whether you live by the sea, visit once a year, or only get as far as your local lake, if you love the vibe of carefree coastal living, this collection of knits is for you. From the knitting to the wearing, each of the 21 pieces is designed to relax and bring comfort. Enjoy your knitting in the company of friends around the firepit or with your toes in the sand. All designs are beginner to intermediate level and you'll find just the right amount of complexity for interesting yet stress-free knitting.

When it’s time to wear your knits, you’ll have a collection built for laid-back luxury: cozy shawls, sweaters, and ponchos perfect for throwing over a tank top when there's a cool breeze, a skirt for casual dress-up, and warm hats, mitts, and cowls for chilly evenings. Knit in your favorite yarns and colors to make your new go-to, beach-life wardrobe!
