Old Orchard

The vibrant lights of carnival rides twinkle against the breathtaking backdrop of a fading pink sunset, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The air is alive with humidity and carries the mouthwatering scents of fried dough, hot dogs, and juicy burgers. At the ocean’s edge, movement is everywhere—the slow, graceful spin of the Ferris wheel, the leisurely stroll of vacationers enjoying their time off, the occasional swoop of a playful seagull, and the rhythmic wash of gentle waves lapping the shore. Delicious treats like ice cream and fluffy cotton candy entice visitors at colorful beachside huts. This scene is balmy, fragrant, and welcoming as a slight breeze ushers in the arrival of summer, inviting everyone to unwind and enjoy the festivities.

This knitting pattern showcases the luxurious textures and colors of summer through its yarn requirements. You will need 2 skeins of Main Color (MC) in a beautiful aqua shade, along with 1 skein each of Contrast Color 1 (CC1) in a soft pale pink and Contrast Color 2 (CC2) in a deeper dark pink. This totals 4 skeins of yarn to create a stunning and vibrant finished piece. For those interested in a hassle-free experience, Nice & Knit will also have complete kits available for purchase on their website.

Important Note: Please be aware of a recent errata—row 12 should now read: p2togtbl, YO, p5 pcdd, YO, p5, then for the last two stitches, complete YO, p2tog. This adjustment ensures that your project will match the intended design and flow seamlessly. Happy knitting!
