Lamorna

Discover the charm of traditional knitting with this stunning Lamorna Sweater, inspired by the picturesque fishing cove of Lamorna in South West Cornwall. This gorgeous garment features a classic yoke section adorned with intricate gansey-style stitchery, ensuring a timeless appeal that will make it a beloved addition to your wardrobe. The sweater is designed with a straight fit, emphasizing elegance and comfort, while most of the beautiful patterning is showcased prominently on the upper front and back.

The sleeves and lower borders are crafted in a cozy moss stitch, culminating in a slightly raised ridge of reverse stocking stitch. This unique design detail is also echoed in the stylish yoke neckband, adding an extra touch of sophistication. As you wear this sweater, you'll appreciate the skillful blend of tradition and modern design in every stitch. I'm excited to share this design with you, and I hope you’ll love knitting and wearing this Lamorna Sweater as much as I enjoyed creating it!
