The mathematics of knitting in a lovely lambswool blend

This type of patterned knitwear has a strong tradition in coastal settings, including Ireland and the British Isles, where it’s associated with fishing and hard work. With this kind of complex knitting, each detail has to align for the finished piece to turn out just right. Often, the patterns also carry MEANING – for example, the decorative “honeycomb,” which is said to symbolize being “busy as a bee.” On our beautifully crafted cardigan, this pattern is alongside the button placket with hand-crocheted buttons. The DECORATIVE edges that give this piece a slightly romantic touch are also handmade. Pair with other pieces from the collection, or with one of our essentials.
