Solent by Katherine Mehls

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Vibrant and versatile, Katherine’s reversible design highlights organic cotton Whimbrel’s earthy colorways, beautiful stitch definition, and summery drape. From its nautical stripes to its darling eyelets to its classic boatneck, you’ll enjoy this compelling cast-on from start to finish. This bottom-up pullover can be knit with 3/4-length or short sleeves, making it great for summer and beyond. For a vibrant color contrast, we recommend casting on this pattern in Bowsprit and Jetty!
