Sweater weather is here. Fall brings cooler days and quieter beaches, perfect for a long walk in something cozy. There's nothing like a hand-knit sweater this time of year.


A walk in the fall has its own rhythm, whether it's a stretch of beach at low tide or a favorite path through the woods. The crowds have thinned, and the trails are filled with color.


Layers for the Walk



Start with a hand-knit pullover, easy to wear over a tee and roomy enough for layering. A chunky beanie protects the ears. A cowl warms the neck. Fingerless mitts keep hands free to snap a photo or hold a leash.
