I pack sweaters no matter where I’m traveling. Even if we’re going to the beach, odds are good there’s going to be a windy evening walk on which I will want to be wearing a sweater.
Something like the Getaway cardigan from Alicia Plummer would actually be a great choice for such an occasion.
It’s a nice length and it’s worked in worsted weight yarn with a textured chevron pattern on the back that makes it pretty as well as cozy. It’s worked flat from the bottom up on the body and the sleeves are worked in the round from the top down. The shawl collar is worked as part of the body. And it has pockets!
There are 12 sizes available, up to 87.75 inches. The sweater is meant to be worn with 5-10 inches of positive ease.
You can find the pattern on Ravelry.
