Inspired by ropes, braiding and nautical knots, Havn’s intricate cables sitting against a background of soothing reverse stocking stitch are reminiscent of fishing nets on the water, or gently rippling waves. Havn’s close knit texture makes for a dense yet drapey fabric, ideal for sheltering from sea breezes and even a storm or two!
Constructed sideways in one piece, Havn’s hem, cuffs and neckband are self-finished with i-cord. Cropped to sit on the natural waist, the body is easily lengthened (however please note that more yarn will be needed).
