SONA PULLOVER
……………………………..

Warm air and cold water. Bare legs and woolly jumpers. Your face tingling from the heat and 
and your eyes tearing up from the wind. The sound of the ferry horn and the scent of sun-baked 
seaweed… The Northern Summer is nearly upon us. And along with it, a special kind of sweater 
weather.



An ideal summer jumper for cooler climates, the Sona Pullover features a thermal cabled yoke 
developed to be stretchier and less stiff than traditional cable knits, thus facilitating movement 
and temperature regulation for active summer pursuits. The spacious neckline can be tucked in 
and worn as a crewneck, or expanded for more coverage during blustery ferry crossings.



With a circular yoke inspired by dancing sun-bursts, Sona is a happy, energetic jumper with a 
buoyant spirit.

Worked top-down in the round with ‘addictive’ cables at a DK-Aran weight 
gauge, it also makes for excellent beach knitting.
