My popular knitting pattern, ‘Trouville Sweater’ is now available made to order.

An original Fair Isle yoke design is matched with classic stripes at the base, inspired by the bright stripy tents and architectural details found in my favourite local seaside town, Trouville-Sur-Mer, in Normandy. It has been designed as a loosely tapered and cropped cardigan that can be worn with the buttons down the front OR the back, but it can easily be made as a simple sweater as well. The legnth can also easily be tailored to suit your preference. The sleeves are full and gather at the cuff. Textural details include occasional rows of purl stitch as well as small bobbles around the neckline and cuffs.

Three colourways are currently available: Coral and Cream stripes with peaches and browns at the yoke; Lemon and Oatmeal stripes with blues and burgundy at the yoke; or Mustard and Lemon stripes with pinks, burgundy and navy at the yoke.
