Shore by Kate Davies:

Five light knits for layering in Milarrochy Tweed

What do you look for in your spring and summer knitting?

A pattern that's simple to knit, but which brings a little interest in the stitches or construction? Something that's easy on the needles but not too heavy in your hands? A light layer in which to wrap up when a warm day starts to cool?
These were Kate's starting points when she began to develop Shore.
Inspired by her local lochside and coastal landscape, in Shore Kate has created a capsule collection of light layers for you to enjoy working on and wearing. All of the knits in the collection are straightforward, wearable and absorbing: there's little colourwork, a little lace, and lots of soothing stockinette and garter stitch. Shore's patterns include a pullover (Balmaha), a shrug-style cardigan (St Catherines), a tee (Pabaigh), a kerchief (Polkagris) and a shawl (Traigh).
Wherever in the world you are, whether you sit by lake or river or ocean, you'll enjoy knitting something from Shore.
