Puffin Sweater
This pattern is part of Kate’s new Colours of Shetland collection which which is now available to purchase in print, and/ or digital editions
A close-fitting sweater with a striking (yet simple) puffin-beak pattern worked around the yoke. This design is my happy homage to the puffin - - a quintessentially modernist bird
