Mordros is a Cornish word meaning the sound of the sea - exactly what I can hear from my garden where I designed and knitted this sweater.

This is a timeless sweater in a lightweight yarn designed to be worn over a summer top. It can also be knitted in 4ply/fingering weight yarn for a warmer version.

It’s an easy stocking stitch design with naturally rolling hems and cuffs, with a 3-needle shoulder cast-off and sleeves knitted on from the body for minimal seaming at the end.

Also available with the hand dyed yarn as a knit kit from www.perranyarns.co.uk
