This wasn’t the quickest or simplest design I’ve ever made. I had a very clear vision from the start, but it took two full versions to truly get there.

A lot of care went into shaping the pattern and making sure every step is clearly explained, with the help of my testers and Kate, my tech editor.

The result is a sweater I truly love, one that feels thoughtful, balanced, and satisfying to knit. The pattern is clear and well tested, and the finished piece has already become a favorite in my own wardrobe, complete with a few lovely compliments along the way.
