Staithes Junior
Introducing our delightful junior version of the popular “Staithes” knitwear design, inspired by the breathtaking coastal village of Staithes in North Yorkshire. This charming design features a vibrant mix of pattern textures and intricate stitches, capturing the essence of traditional gansey-style sweaters. Perfect for both girls and boys, the pattern includes instructions for creating a version with or without playful bobbles around the neckband. Notably, unlike the adult version, this junior design incorporates a convenient button neck opening at the back for easy dressing.
