My design ideas and advice: This design was inspired by a childhood memory of fishermans’ clothes – this time more modern smocks. With those shapes in mind, I played around with stitch details that were simple to knit but created an attractive effect. In the Purl &Jane Skipton studio I get a lot of people say, “ooh, I love that I wish it was in an adult size” Well knitters wishes are my command and ta-dah! It is available in adult sizes and is called Ravenscar Jumper. Enjoy!
