Introducing Garden Row: A collection of three refined knits for city wandering and quiet days in bloom. Designs include: Folk Garden Sweater, Ondine Tank & Saltridge Sweater. Purchase the collection for £18 (automatic discount when all three are purchased together).

Embrace the beauty of nature with the Folk Garden Sweater. This top-down design features a botanically inspired yoke pattern, created through stranded colourwork. The motifs are drawn from floral folk textiles, bringing a whimsical, earthy charm to your knitting. With a stranded colourwork palette of four contrast colours, this sweater is perfect for using up your yarn scraps and leftover odds and ends. The pattern is simple enough for those new to colourwork, while also offering a relaxing knit for more seasoned knitters.
