an Autumn Trip "To the Sea" with Lete's Knits

This Fall take your family for a walk on the beach in style. 


The To the Sea collection is inspired by Lete's Knits' everlasting love of the sea. Yellow sand, fresh breezes, shifting dunes and a lot of wonderful memories - all captured in these 3 cabled designs.

Shifting is a simple top-down pullover knit in sport weight yarn. Casual and elegant at the same time, perfect for a walk by the sea.

Dunes is its kiddy version. It makes a fantastic sweater for every child on a chilly summer day. The design is unisex (a pullover for boys and a tee for girls) and features a special shaping to accommodate for every child’s figure.

Sand Bank is the last design. It’s a slouchy featuring the same cable pattern. Squishy, soft and perfect for transitional seasons.

NOTE: Patterns may be purchased together or separately and will be emailed to you after purchase.
