Shorelines: Knits from Scottish Coasts by Rebecca Clow is a beautiful collection of contemporary knitting patterns inspired by Scotland’s rich knitting traditions and picturesque coastal towns and islands.
Rebecca draws on traditional gansey knitting, combining gorgeous textures, thoughtful details and timeless shapes to create a collection of modern, wearable knitwear designs. From cosy sweaters and cardigans to versatile vests, scarves, socks and hats, all these designs were made for Scottish living, from windswept coastal walks right into your everyday life.
Each knitting pattern has its own story, often rooted in Rebecca’s memories of Scotland’s coast. Like Fairlie, for example, which is a cosy felted vest named after the place where many of her grandparents’ sailing adventures began. Inspired by the stories held in their handwritten sailing logbooks, it’s a perfect example of the personal history and traditional influences that are knit into and woven throughout the entire book.
Shorelines: Knits from Scottish Coasts by Rebecca Clow contains 18 knitting patterns, including:
- 7 sweaters
- 3 cardigans
- 2 vests
- 3 scarves
- 1 pair of socks
- 2 hats
Whether you’re drawn to more of a textured gansey-inspired sweater or a simple, modern knit you’ll want to wear every day, Rebecca has truly delivered a stunning collection which will see you casting on several designs, probably all at once!
