cottongrass jumper
cottongrass jumper
THIS IS A KNITTING PATTERN. NOT A PHYSICAL PRODUCT.
the cottongrass jumper is named after the beautiful and resilient arctic plant. in our arctic home where vegetation is limited, the arctic cotton grass stands out, and is easily the tallest plant.
in summer, we run through the arctic cotton grass fields, handpicking them while basking in the midnight sun. this jumper is a collection of our summer memories in north of 60°, and a reminder of the inevitable change of season.
cottongrass is a colour-work yoke jumper pattern and is knitted top-down. There are two options for the yoke - plain or contrasting.
