BALLINTOY HARBOUR

CAROLINE BIRKETT’S jumper uses lace stitches to create undulating waves of texture around the body and sleeves. The slip stitch stripes are worked in a sequence of three different colours. Caroline’s design has a neat ribbed V-neckline and cropped sleeves. It is knitted in a smooth, soft DK-weight cotton from Nurturing Fibres.
