Seren is a top-down pullover featuring a mix of colourwork and texture inspired by traditional quilts. The yoke displays three bands of geometric patterns drawn from quilting motifs and the body and sleeves are created with a slip-stitch texture reminiscent of hand stitching. A dimensional pintuck borders the yoke, and the trims, including a folded collar, are worked in 2X2 rib. One main colour and five contrast colours are used within Seren – the sample uses Kokon Fingering Merino, chosen for its vintage inspired colour palette.
