The Sabrina Sweate: When I imagined this piece, I pictured making something very cozy I could throw on to duck outside with my dogs, go shopping for groceries, or even wear on cold evenings out on the town when a coat just feels cumbersome (looking at you holiday parties). I also wanted to design a piece that would be approachable to beginners, but satisfying for veteran makers. I really enjoy finding ways to take simple stitches to the next level, and I think this pattern accomplishes that.
