SARAH HATTON

LIKE SUNLIGHT sparkling on the sea, the pattern on this jumper design from Sarah Hatton uses slip stitches and twisted stitches, and two ocean shades, to produce a rippling, textured stripe effect. The yoke and sleeves are knitted in stocking stitch. West Yorkshire Spinners’ Elements yarn provides a light, lustrous and draping fabric, and comes in 18 delicious shades.
