The Liedags Seashore Sweater was first published in my book "Crochet Sweaters with a Textured Twist", (Page Street Publishing, USA, 2023).
When was the last time you took your shoes off and felt the ripple marks while walking down the seashore? To be sure—the Liedags sweater will take you on a walk like no other. The short rows “shells” mimic the ripples on the beach, while the sideways construction together with back loop stitches is like nothing you’ve seen before. May this crochet journey be full of stunning surprises and exciting short rows paths!
