Low Tide by Rachel Illsley

We are thrilled about this new, stunning design! The lace panels are inspired by the textures of sand, shells and pebbles on a low tide beach. The top down saddle shoulder construction is very cleverly done!

Rachel has designed this cosy sweater in 4ply Āhuru merino/possum and we have packed up kits so you can knit it.

  • A pleasure to knit

    Last Frost is an interesting and engaging pattern with several ideas for adapting the hem to add to the fun. Mardi is the loveliest, softest yarn to knit and wear and the choices for colour are endless. There are so many ways to make your own unique version of this top.
